    Our friend Barbara passed away today. She was Rons wife, a couple of friends in England that we have known many years. They came out to visit us a number of times. The last visit was to Nova Scotia, we met them in Halifax and rented a van and toured the area. I took some pictures and put them into a story for them. I would like to share it with you. We joked about getting a point if we did something good, or you lost one for things that went wrong. This is the tale. http://www.dereila.ca/scotiapoem/

    My wife went to school with Barbara and they were out together when I asked my wife for a date. Many years ago. I played soccer for our school and played against Ron who was playing for another school. We moved to Canada and they visited us a few times and went on some great trips.

    It's never easy to lose a good friend and my deepest sympathy is sent to Barbara's husband as well as to you and your wife. I looked at all the photographs and read the poems - what a lovely way to remember the trip you all took together. Friends may pass on but good memories never die.
