  • Gilles ! My dear friend. Such sad news I didn’t expect and didn’t know Carolyn’s challenges. This is got to be such a very difficult time for you and your kids. I just learned of Lianne’s passing as well, so sad. Too many words are inappropriate at this time for you, after the years in my profession, my experience tells me that you’re loving memories and remembrances will replace the pain that you feel now. All the very best Gilles ! I’ll look forward to talking with you soon. Your dear friend, Rick - Posted by: Rick C. Wiebe (Friend ) on: Jul 30, 2024
