Jimmy, my sincere condolence goes out to you and the family on the loss of Mary. I remember very well all the times at the Columbus Centre. We were always booked for weddings, anniversaries, any kind of function that there was, Mary would be there skirting the headtable and I would come in getting the bar set up for the function and even for bingos we had there hey Jim, we certainly had a fanastic crew. I am certainly going to miss Mary and I am sorry for I cannot attend the service Jim for I'm in Edmonton since February. I have landed a job out this way.
