We were very sad to hear the news of Auntie Lynne's passing. When I think of her and Uncle Doug I just remember how incredibly sweet and happy they were. We always wanted to go visit them and swim in their pool! They always welcomed us if we were visiting from Calgary to come spend time at their beautiful home. Auntie Lynne had the best cookies. I have very fond memories of being at their home and loving on their beloved dog Kato. The years pass quickly and we all get busy with our lives, but remembering sweet family moments are important and part of who we are. We are sending much love to my cousins Geoff and Tim and their families.
