Dear Editor,
My son Toni Kristinsson died February 1, 2015 at age 44, in the line of duty as a Peace Officer. Our family and I have been blown away by this amazing community and wish to give our thanks; to the extreme generosity of Gary & Vicky Anderson, the ongoing support of Pastor James and the Cates Hill Chapel Outreach; and to my Bible study group who climbed out of bed to be with me right after the shocking news from my grandson Nathan and Toni’s wife Patricia. This much love can only happen on Bowen! Also many thanks to Sonja’s great friends that rallied together to deliver flowers and much needed meals to us on opposite ends of the island. Lora came all the way from Squamish to take us to the airport and Terri picked us up when we returned. There isn’t any words that can adequately express our gratitude to everyone. It would take a page to list everyone by name so I hope you know we feel Blessed to have such caring people in our lives.
Joyce & Sonja Kristinsson, Lara Blomberg, Ian MacLennan, & Diana Bradbury
