From Val Brown, with thanks...

Dear Folks,

On this the 1st anniversary of my husband Pat's death.

I would like to say thank you to all those wonderful people who have helped me get through this sad year, and also for the phone calls, cards, hospital visits, and meals delivered to me after my recent accident.

Thank you all so much.

I now know why Pat never ever wanted to leave Thetis. It's a truly magical place.
