Rev. Charlie Hogg & Rev. Heather Gilmour December 08, 2016

Dear Ron. It seems like only yesterday I chatted, for so brief a time, with you and your lovely partner in life Jean. It was when you recognized me in the foyer of the new O.T.M.H. I had no idea at that time how very sick Jean was. I came home with an excitement at having renewed our relationship!!! Jean and you were major figures in shaping my journey towards ordination whilst I was the assistant at St. Paul's. We will always cherish the memory of our time with you and Jean as Heather still makes Jean's 7up jellied salad when we have guests for dinner; each and every time they leave with the recipe.. You see, Ron, Jean is still very active in memory and her gifts will go on beyond anything that we could ever imagine. You have been married to a one of a kind woman who carved her own pathway into the hearts of all who knew her. With our profound love to you and all of your family. Heather and Charlie
