So sorry to hear of your father. Unfortunately we are dealing with Jo's mom now as she fell and cracked her pelvis. She is 95 and we don't want to be too far away. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Marian, Tim, Morey and Laurie and families...I was saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. I'll miss seeing his smily face in the Co-op 2-3 times/week. As a neighbor he was always very caring and helpful. I'll keep you in my prayers thru this tough time. I'm sorry I'm working so I won't be able to attend the service. Hugs & Smiles from Rosemary

Dear Marion, Morey + Family ...
Sincere condolences to you all. I am so sad for you. Gib was a great guy, a very long time good friend, as well as an awesome neighbour (he + your mum). Such fun we used to have all together up in that little corner of Countryside ... I have some great memories! Please know that our thoughts are with you + our hearts go out to you.
Ann + Family
