    Uncle Graham, Graham, Craig, and Lisa, I am still in shock. I was only saying the other day about having a family get together again like what we had before the pandemic. This is not what I had in mind. I have so many fond memories of us as children running around and Aunt Emily would be doing her thing and taking it all in stride or running in the store to grab a quick drink and she would at the counter serving. She will be sorely missed for sure. Take care and hope to see you guys soon. All my best.
