Jean and Family

We were very sad to hear about Uncle Bill's passing. He was one of those people who you felt you never had enough time with. Always a big smile and a warm hug. And the smell of his pipe tobacco is something I've never forgotten, from the time I was very small. We are currently over in Holland or else we'd be at the memorial. We'll be there in spirit. All of our love, Stacey (nee Miller), Brad and Josh Donison

Dear Jean and Family,
In very quiet prayer I put my arms around you all in love and carrying. While physically, I have not been in contact, mentally I have been there nearly 84 years.
Love you.
Maud
