HEARTFELT MESSAGES FOR DAP WINDOW INTO SOUL OF COMMUNITY
Mark Clairmont | MuskokaTODAY.com
GRAVENHURST — Messages of condolence papered the front window of DTA this week.
The heartfelt sentiments — and etched memories — were inside big red and white hearts tucked beneath dangling snowflakes and all expressed similar sympathies.
Each was a personal connection with the DTA accountant who died March 15 of a heart attack.
A small silver tin with a black marker and hearts sat beneath outside next to the front door.
It was nice way to say one last goodbye to a good guy.
And the public posts left an indelible — if temporary — mark on the Ing Building.
But a lasting local legacy that stands out on a dusty spring main street.
The outpourings a window into the soul of the community.
Holly Carney, who works in the office and has been inundated in taking calls from clients and well-wishers, was moved by the outpouring.
Often the door is open and friends and strangers pop their heads in to say hi.
They express sadness and occasionally get a hug.
A fond and fitting farewell amid the times.
