I have a memory that makes me smile.
I was visiting Fred and Marilyn at their cottage in Harvey when Marilyn and I decided to drive to see Chris, Susan and the children in their new home on the other side of Fredericton. Fred had to stay home to work so I would be driving.
We were discussing the route. Fred said "The quickest way is the new highway .... ", and he gave directions. Marilyn said, " But I can't see and I know the old way." I said , "And with my eyesight I can't read the signs."
Fred tried again. "The quickest way is the new highway... " and he gave directions. Marilyn said, "But Fred, I can't see, and I know the old way." And I said again, "With my eyesight, I can't read the signs." Fred opened his mouth to repeat for a third time, when suddenly the madness of the situation hit him ; it really was the blind leading the blind, DRIVING A CAR.
Fred drove us. We had a lovely visit.
To all of the family, we are very sorry for your loss. May you find some comfort in the memories you have of this beautiful person.
With all our love,
Enid and Roger
