Not sure what to say?

I have wonderful memories of Charlie & Millie from camp. My parents were great friends of theirs and they had a lot of fun together. Charlie always took the time to see us whenever he was visiting camp. He'll be greatly missed.

Mike and Steven,I am sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He would come to the regional market every weekend and help out. Our thoughts and prayers are with you,Bruce.

Mike and Stephen, I was sorry to hear about your Dads passing, Words can not make this time any easier, Just wanted you both to know my thoughts and prayers are with you..Your Mom and Dad were always so good to me..Cynthia

Stephen and Michael, our hearts go out to you. You've just lost the kindest man on earth and everyone that knew him, loved him. He was the best Uncle we could have asked for, that's for sure. We remember him teaching all three of our children to swim with the patience of a saint. We'll never forget him or your mom and will cherish our memories of them forever.
