I was so honoured to spend the last family gathering with Sandy and Julie at their 50th Anniversary, and of course my wonderful cousins. I am deeply saddened and my heart goes out to all of you, it has been a hard couple of years for the Zalitach family, but having such a wonderful family to provide comfort and support does make it a little easier, as we all know what its like to lose someone so special.
