Although the skies were clear and blue the sun did not shine quite so brightly today as we recieved the news from our daughter Kyla and her partner Jared that they had lost their best friend and neighbor in Tofino to a tragic drowning incident. Taken in the prime of life was Jamie Collins, a tragic accident that will leave a huge hole in the hearts of all that knew him. Our thoughts go out to his family, and friends, we can only hope that with time the sun will again shine brightly in all the lives that he touched and that they will feel enriched by the time they spent with him. A sad day indeed.
