Have a beer and a fishing pole waiting for me. My heart aches for your passing and I miss you more and more each day. Love you forever and always your granddaughter Jessie

Dear Pauline & families,
All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I remember "Teet" working at Austin Printing with my late father-in-law Ed Roe and also him ushering at St. Francis de Sales Parish. He was a jolly and happy guy with a great smile and always talked to everyone. I believe Ed and Leona Roe went to Kenmore with "Teet" but not sure what year. It's hard losing your spouse. My "Eddie" passed in 1979 at 35 yrs. old. But you'll always have great memories. May God bless you always and in all ways. Take care.
Love & prayers,
Robin
