Drat this working for a living all to heck.

We held the Salmon Arm memorial yesterday. It was also our 23rd wedding anniversary. You get silver-plate for the 23rd. The memorial went very well. I have spent most of the time since his death preparing for the memorial - printing photos and making poster board montages of the pictures and so on. Because I did all that, it felt like I was still conversing with Lorne, and that he was around here somewhere. Now that it is over, there will be no hiding from the truth.

Lorne's obituary has been published in the Vancouver Courier, Surrey Now, Vermilion Standard, and the Shuswap Market News. And also on Fischer's Funeral Services website: https://www.fischersfuneralservices.com/smith-lorne-james/
