On Sunday, May 1, Blake died while riding his dirt bike in Calabogie. Blake Alexander MacMillan, BAM, boy and man, an enthusiast, determined, insistant upon getting the best from himself, others, gear, everything. He was always truly delighted when things went well, whether for himself or his friends.
Jay and I are devastated to lose him. He has been part of our lives since Jay was two and they were together in daycare. Mela, Don, Jim and I and the boys had almost every Sunday dinner together all the years that we lived in Wakefield. The boys were like brothers, very different individuals brought close by many shared expiences both with and without their parents.
I'm too tearful to write more at this time but couldn't let the moment go unnoted.
Jan, thank you for this. It's a terrible loss. I hope you will write more about Blake, so that those of us who didn't know him well, but know and love Mela and Don, can join in the remembering of his bright spirit. Love to you -- Mary Lou
