3 months

 Three months ago today

my sister, Heather, passed away suddenly.

She's the one sitting beside me (the baby).

She was a good sister and took especially good care of me

when we lived together during our university days.

 We were able to attend the memorial in Langley

and were amazed at the incredible impact Heather had had

in her school and church communities.

Here you can see her husband, Derek and her two boys,

Nowel and Brodie.

 She was never one to blow her own horn

but her students obviously loved her

and she was highly respected by her school colleagues.

 Howard and I weren't able to attend the burial which was held

during my last week of school.

 Heather's husband, Derek, took us out to the beautiful

cemetery in Fort Langley where she has been laid to rest

when we were back in Abbotsford for the new staff orientation.

We miss her...
