Meribeth, Shelly and Angela
I was so sorry to hear about Cousin Malcolm's death. "Malc" and I were about the same age by a few months so any time we visited Sackville he and I played together while the older family members socialized. In the summer it was a regular feature that my mother and I stayed for a few days with Aunt Alice and Uncle Mac at their cottage across the lake in Sackville after that long walk through the woods followed by a row across the lake. (That whole area now has been completely urbanized but in my head it is still woods and lake- great for swimming and watching an occasional beaver flap his tail and disappear into his den. Ken and Dolly, Malc and Marg were next door in their cottage so again Malc and I were inseparable As Malc and I got older and his family moved to the Valley we didn't see as much of them but we always remained close in spirit. From time to time I enjoyed seeing and visiting with him, Meribeth and the girls . I will always remember him with great fondness, so much an important part of my family memoires.. Gerry
