Amazing. Good for you Erin. This is giving all seniors more empowered to express their lived experience so respectfully. It is amazing what we all learn from our Seniors. This is true education for all generations upcoming.

Two people on my favourite list on the same bench together! Wow!! Erin, I have listened to you for many years and met you last year. Lloyd your love and guidance to many of us over the years has an ever-lasting and rippling effect, to me as an individual, our family and community. Cant wait to hear the two of you together and "meet" Doug!

Amazing. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I might be a bit biased as I am the proud daughter of Lloyd. I am one blessed woman
