Marlou and family, I'm sorry to hear of the death of your father. He was a wonderful man. May Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, bring peace to your hearts during this difficult time.

Fred was such a dear, sweet man. For almost 20 years I did taxes for Fred and Donna, and then just Fred. He never came empty-handed, bringing me grapefruit from Florida or blueberries from Michigan. We jokingly called him "my boyfriend", although he could have been my dad. I'll miss having coffee with him at Tim Hortons and chatting about Izzy's latest escapades. I will miss you, my friend.
