What an incredible day from start to finish!! We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!! The kindness, love and gene- rosity everyone has shown — it is indescribable what it means to our family. Thank you to the organizing committee of: Keith Allen, Al Bosman, Robyn Carnochan- Dietz, Allan and Karen Carter, Sandy McGlynn, Jack McLachlan, Erin Robinson and their spouses and families for hosting an event that was out of this world! What a magical day. Thank you to everyone for their extremely generous monetary, auction items, supplies, time and talent donations. The many event volunteers did an out- standing job and the food, entertainment and festivities were fantastic. Thank you to all of the attendees, and to those unable to attend for their beautiful cards, messages and contributions. Thank you to our fami- lies, friends, neighbours and communities for their ongoing support. We are grateful to have so many different villages of people supporting our family — small villages, with huge hearts. All of the support we have re- ceived from the 'Drive for Dean' will enable us to purchase an accessible family vehicle by the end of this year!!! The overwhelming generosity will also enable us to install an accessible swing and do some future home renovations such as an accessible bath- room. Truly unbelievable and everything will always be greatly appreciated. We feel that if we said thank you to each of you every day forever — it would still not adequately convey our heartfelt gratitude....so we will aim to step by step over the years, attempt to pay forward all of these amazing acts of kindness. Thank you!!! - Charlene, Jim, Ben, Dean and Shaylyn O'Reilly In Memoriams In Memoriams MARIANNA RYAN In loving memory of a special wife and mother, Marianna Ryan, who passed away two years ago on June 12, 2012.
