Brian and I would like to express our condolences to Mrs. Gazale and her sons at this sad time. Our daughters, Rachel and Erica Watson, had just returned from our posting in Australia and were trying to readapt to life in Canada. They were lucky enough to be in M. Gazale's class. His kindness and caring nature, sense of humour and conscientious dedication as a teacher really helped them to make the transition.

We appreciate this and our thoughts are with you in your loss.
