Publisher's Note - Winter 2009

Life can change in an instant, and that has happened for me and my family. My daughter passed away suddenly due to amedical condition.

Out of great sorrow comes hope, joy, and support. I would personally like to express my thanks to all the people who have supported us, my grand children and myself, during this difficult time.

I would like to express how proud I am to live in the Comox Valley. There were many individuals and groups who appeared and offered to help me in ways that will remain with me the rest of my life. It seems we never hear the great stories of community; the news is focused on the pain of life.

Not to forget my daughter’s friends and my own close friends, who were steadfast and helped guide me through some difficult situations.

I would like all of us in this community to remember that we live in a special place, and most importantly, to remember that we have a community of caring and loving individuals that make this one of the most beautiful

Now it's time to slow down and savour the articles in this issue.
