Dear Norma & Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. We know that Vern is in a better place now but you will all miss him. It was so nice to see and have a short visit with some of you at the service yesterday. We have such fond memories of our Bridge lessons at Strathcona.
Sincerely,
Rick & Marg Barkwell
