Jim,

I've already posted on the UBC Forum about how numb and shocked Cheryl and I are at this terrible news - you, and Jan, are in our thoughts and prayers.

We spent a wonderful weekend in your company a year ago, and I'm honoured to have met you both and to have spent some time in Jan's presence - for she did have a huge presence and was one of those very rare people who can light up an entire room when she enters.

I'll cherish the memories of that pub meal we had together, and Cheryl and I will raise a glass of Champagne with cranberry juice in her memory - remember that?

I still can't believe that she's gone.

You should by now have a UBC PM with all my contact numbers. I mean it mate, if you EVER want to talk, yell, bawl, scream, sing, get pissed and maudlin or even all of the above, you just pick up the phone.

Take care and be strong, fella.

All my best wishes,

Mike.
