Dear Judy:
It is June 13, 2024. I was thinking about you and Brendan when I was passing by Warren Avenue. I just learned that Brendan had passed away last year. I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. I remember Brendan offering me a cup of water in your house when I was impolitely intruding your backyard without your permission. We had last email exchange back in May, 2016 when my mother passed away. Time flies. I hope you are healthy and doing well.
Regards,
Dear Judy and family. I was saddened to hear of dear Brendan’s passing. It was 22 years ago that I spent my first year next door to you at Lexington. You were both so friendly and kind to the new Scottish neighbor. So glad I managed to see you both last year.
A really good man! So sorry Judy and family for your loss. Will remember him in our prayers 🙏🙏🙏 Richard and Denyse ❤️❤️❤️
Brian and family, our deepest condolences from the Green Valley CC grounds crew.
