Dear Mrs. Mackie and family, On behalf of my late father, Donald McC. Duncan and myself I would like to express my condolences during your time of loss. I first met Mr Mackie when he and Dad were field commissioners working in the Halifax Hollis Street Boy Scout Office with Mr.W. Speed, who was then the district field commissioner. Since I was very young at that time, my awareness of Mrs.Mackie was by the coupling of your names, Phyllis and Jim , which was then the social norm. Of course if by chance I was ever to address you, which I suspect was very rare, it would have been Mr. or Mrs. Mackie, which continues today.
My hope is that during these difficult day you will be able to find some comfort in the thoughts and deeds of others and by the happy, precious memories of a loving husband, father and grandfather.
With sympathy, Marilee Duncan ( daughter of Donald and Doris Duncan) Dartmouth N.S.
