George & Cheryl,
Hope everyone is well. Just heard that the last of the Somers clan haspassed away. Aunt Molly (Mildred) (The Duchess) died last night of aheart attack. She was a middle sister to June and Carey. She was thelast of all the aunts and uncles and was 83. Her husband Jim (Syl)McCarron survives her. Aunt Tiny, Uncle Jim's wife, passed away lastweek. They lived in Halifax. Your dad is one of the only spouses thatare still around. The only other one is Uncle Art's first wife Edna.Sorry, I digress. Anyway, not that you probably remember her but I justthought you should know. I've been in touch with Arlene Gillian fromdown east. Helen and I are going to try to correct the family file thatshe has going. Everybody here is good. Mark's coming in from Brampton,where he's living and working now, for the funeral on Friday. You guystake care. Love ya, Deb
