In other sad news this week, Marilu's Uncle Tom (more affectionately known as Toots) passed away on the weekend after a long, off-and-on battle with cancer. I only had a chance to meet him twice--he read at our wedding in 2003, and we visited with him in Newfoundland in 2007--but I feel I know him better than those brief encounters would imply since both Marilu and her cousin Tanya frequently spoke of him and had nothing but good things to say.
During that vacation to Newfoundland, Marilu took some pictures of Toots and Lucas, and I'd like to repost a couple of them here. I'd like to think this might help some of you enjoy a happy memory in this sad time, and it will also be a way for Lucas to look back in a few years and see one of the many family members that loved him that he'll never have a chance to know better.

Lovely tribute to Marilu's Uncle Toots. Glad to see that you put it together for Lucas' memory box.
