Dear Friends and Relatives:

First off, I would like to thank all of you for your prayers, words of comfort and encouragement in the loss of my son Anthany. There are no words to describe the sudden loss of my son. He spoke to me that morning and later that afternoon he called me to say he was on his way home…just before he died. At times, I feel that I cannot go on. And then I receive a call from a friend or relative asking me how I am and how are we making out, these calls remind me that other people care too.

When Anthany died, I vowed to make sure that this would never have to happen to a family again and I would fight the system to prove that what they did was wrong.

I would like to thank all the people who have helped us with their prayers, phone calls, and letters. At night, I read your cards and letters and it helps me a lot. Many of you have asked if you can help. The loonie auctions, raffles and financial contributions have all gone toward the costs and we are extremely grateful for everything that has been donated. Every donation lets us know that we all want answers as to why Anthany died. This letter is to ask for your help once again.

We would like to acknowledge all the hard work and support that many of Anthany's friends and family have offered. All of you are remembered and honored. All will be recognized when the time comes to do so and we greatly appreciate your help.

You can reach Anthany's aunt Yvon Gesinghaus by calling 250-974-5728, or I can be reached at 250-598-5324. I thank you once again, for all of your support. Please continue with your thoughts and prayers as I am sure that is what gets me through each day.

Sincerely yours,
Nancy Dawson
