2 FOCUS - AUGUST 2018 Note from a thankful Grandma Dear Editor What is Port Perry? It is a beautiful little town full and I do mean full, of amazing, caring, loving people. My grandson was seriously hurt in an accident and Port Perry adopted him as theirs. Thanks to all my wonderful customers for the thoughts, gifts and genuine concern who still ask about his recovery, and to my work family who were there for support 24/7. You really are family. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all. I will never forget the love from this amazing little town with the big, big heart!
