Dear Anne, Christine, Brian, Pamela, David, and Derrick,
My condolences to you all and the extended family during this difficult time.
I have fond memories of the visits with Aunt Bridgette and Uncle Andrew when I was young. Listening to the family stories about Guyana was always a treat, as Dad always seemed to forget the details and more intriguing parts!
Wishing you all comfort and strength from the loving support of your wonderful family.
With love,
Dominic Gomes and Faith Sia
