The Remembrance Day observance was touching and so far from home. Nicely recited Josh.

SO pleased to see Umu is still with the team? She was invaluable to me in the past as we navigated triage!!!
And, I am with you Barb. Not sure that Dan is ‘rocking’ those new glasses?
Gerry Oldham says
Thank you for the updates. It makes me feel like I am on the journey along side you. Take care and God Bless.

So lovely so see Josh conducting Rememberance Day readings. Very special and so meaningful.
Fantastic photos of all the incredible work of the day. Everyone works so very hard.
Not so sure of the new glasses for Dan. The look is questionable !!
Sending you all Elephant love and wishes
