Dear Avis I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your brother Lynden. Love the picture of his early years as that is more how we remember him. My brother Lynn Ruggles was up here and he was asking about Lynden and I told him I thought he was still the mayor of Travers and it sounds like that was right. Its so sad how we lose touch with one another. Just want you to know that we are praying for you at this time of loss. We live in Lethbridge and would love a note or a call sometime. Our phone number is 403-327-9706 and we do have an answering machine if we are not home. I will get back to you. Linda Lewis is here and Marg Standard Armstrong as well. Rita is here as well it could be like a reunion if we could get everyone together .Extend our sympathy to your family.
