My dad, Leonard Christensen, is now happily surrounded by all members of his immediate family and the family members by marriage. Your dad, Jack, was a character. My dad was happy that he knew him. Our memories of loved ones continue to sustain us.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of your father! He is at peace now and with your mother. I know he missed her terribly! He can now join his friends Gail and John Fish!

Prayers, Debbie Ouellette
