Dear John and Anne,
I extend my sympathies to each of you on the passing of your Mother.
My family and yours lived a couple of streets apart in St. Andrew's Heights, Calgary. I knew your parents through "The Cathedral" - your mum was a wonderful organist there - and that is how I ended up babysitting you as very young children in the mid-1960s. John, you were 2-3 years of age and I loved you. You called me "nonna" :) Anne, you were younger and I ended up moving away, but I remember you as a darling with short, very dark hair. I remember peeking downstairs at the harpsichord and clavichord but would not dare to touch them. Your mother taught my sister, Shirley, piano for awhile. It is possible that your father may remember me/us. My parents were Allan and Alice McQuarrie.
I will do my best to attend the memorial service on Oct. 26th.
