Eric, Although her full name is probably unique throughout British Columbia, and one of few amongst the world, her first initial plus her full surname provides hundreds of possible matches on Canada411.com, and her full two names provide no matches. It is very possible that either she is not in the directory or is not the registered phone user, as far as I know. I could phone every number provided and yet not contact her. I expect that she is alive, unless she has met with an accident or terminal illness unbeknownst to me. Reassurance of her welfare is one of my motives. I do not know where in British columbia she lives. In deductive terms, her full name plus "British Columiba" specifies her, although in the practice of mailing and phoning this obviously is insufficient.
