Some general comments I would like to share are:
Ryan and I had been together for 17 years we just celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. We have been through good times and bad but our more recent hard time was losing Ryan's father. We had just found out that we were awarded the franchise. We thought life couldn't get any better, we recently moved to Kelowna, opening up our own business. Then the news that Ryan's dad had cancer was like a punch in the gut. Life can be so unfair. He died March 30th, 2015. What I learned from him is to never give up, keep going!! He was such a great man. In honour of my father-in-law Richard Murphy
