“Teachers live forever in the hearts they touch”
Dear Daryl, Marie and family; I was very sorry to hear of your mother's passing as she was a very special person in my life both when you lived in Wayne and also when you moved to Drumheller. She was also my very first principal (in Wayne). I was fortunate to have been able to visit her when she was in Airdrie. Give my condolences to your family and especially to Kristen whom I met when she was affiliated with the Lodge in Waterton. Sorry, I did not reply sooner but I was on a road trip to N. AB and NE BC Rick and Marie Dayman
