Roy and Lucy were our dear friends on Highway 80 in Brandon for many years. We shared many good times - talking about our children and grandchildren, touring the woodworking shop, canning pear preserves (from my tree), she brought us her Italian goodie plates at Easter and Christmastime, she brought me souvenirs of their trips, gave me earrings which she was wearing, just because i liked them.
She was so sweet and he was such a gentle and kind man.
I enjoyed meeting her brother-in-law, Andrew Bambino, from Italy.
She was truly a gracious and kind lady, and such a generous and kind neighbor. They have been deeply missed since they moved from Brandon. Sincere sympathy to all the family and friends.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Take comfort in the Scriptures.
Gospel, Jn 14:1-6
1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust also in me.
2 In my Father's house there are many places to live in; otherwise I would have told you. I am going now to prepare a place for you,
3 and after I have gone and prepared you a place, I shall return to take you to myself, so that you may be with me where I am.
4 You know the way to the place where I am going.
5 Thomas said, 'Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?'
6 Jesus said: I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
