Growing up it was always such a treat to visit Ward, Irene and Peter. As a small boy I was always fascinated by Irene’s accent and I could never imagine there was a kinder, sweeter, woman anywhere.
Our heartfelt condolences to Peter, Sarah, Christopher, Braden, Rowan, Maureen, Janice and John. Your loss is Heavens gain.
All our Love,
