Please accept my condolences. Dar and Mike and other "broom ball people" were among the first people we got to know when we came to Mount Forest. I have never forgotten a conversation Luke and I had when he was a little boy. He was front row centre at a school concert where I was taking pictures and asked me which little boy was mine. Then he said he felt sorry for me because I didn't have any little boys! Dar's smiling face will certainly be missed. Sincere sympathy to all left to mourn her loss.
