Dear Paul and Family,
We hoped things would change and she could return to Highland, but unfortunately that will not be possible. She has been and will be sorely missed by all of us...as an excellent player and a very kind person.
I unfortunately will be in Toronto on Thursday and unable to attend the reception to celebrate her life.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and I will be thinking of you and Elaine on Thursday.
