Sympathies and Remembrance from Canada
Dear family,
You father, like his siblings, was a kind person of great character. His legacy is one of love and generosity. He lives on in the very fond memories spent here with Aunt Joan and the wonderful letters and cards we enjoyed.

Uncle Glarry
For all the joy you and Aunt Joyce brought my Dad and Mom, and aunts and uncles when they were able to have you as part of their lives again, and for your bravery and service, accept our blessings and know you are forever in our hearts and that we owe you a debt of gratitude. I know you are all getting reacquainted once more. Till we all meet again.

UNCLE
God bless you, uncle. Our hearts go out to our long-distance cousins. We have many nice memories, especially of his last trip to Canada. We had a lot of fun. Our dad often speaks of his trip to England to visit his brother. We are going to miss you uncle, and the Christmas cards you sent each year - they were always full of love.
Memories will last forever.
Love from Tom and Ina Tranquada,
Orangeville, Canada.
