Oddly, I came across an old picture of Gerrit and myself this very week ... bringing special memories of my good school-hood chum. And then the obituary appeared...beautifully written, but so shocking! Heartfelt condolences and prayers for God's Peace to Deb, and all of Gerrit's family, whom we enjoyed hearing about in Gerrit's welcome Christmas letters. Lots of Fort Macleod memories and church Hi-C fun are flooding back ... as well as our too-infrequent later warm encounters! Good-bye, my Friend ... Ric and Sharon Swihart (Lethbridge)
