My sincere condolances to you Tom and all your family. Marina, as I always knew her, is etched in my memory from when I was a little girl living next door to "Mr. & Mrs. Stevens in Calgary on 19th Avenue. She was always so friendly and always her beautiful smile.
Then around the late 1990's our paths crossed again as you were now living in Red Deer where my home is. She came into my little store looking for me regarding UNICEF and when she told me her name and I confirmed who she was we were both gobsmacked. It had to have been 50 years since our paths had crossed.
As it turned out my brother Jim (Seattle) and Tom (Cochrane) and wives were in town and we had a lovely supper together. Marina brought pictures from your wedding Tom of my mom and me. It was a special evening of reminiscing especially for Jim, as Tom you inspired him in his love of history especially military history.
I will let my brothers know of this sad news. I will think of you often.
