    Dear Ward and family:
    I was just informed of your wife’s recent passing by my nephew, Billy Findlay. Karen and I send our prayers and condolences. May she rest in peace.
    I’m sorry I missed the opportunity to connect with you in Dryden when I visited Judy and Billy for several days this past July.. Perhaps we’ll see you again on a future trip.
    Sincerely,
    Don Olynyk
