Donnie, I wish with all my heart I was there with you. I remember the first time I met Greta. You were stationed in Kingston and brought her over to
Picton to meet me. She was such a pretty girl and so very nice. I was so happy for you. You found the love of your life. Hold tight to all the wonderful times you shared together and draw strength from your family both near and far. Your loving sister Lorraine

We have not seen each other in over 50 years, but, I remember. In the dictionary, under old friends, our names are there. I am saddened by the pain and unhappiness you are feeling.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Uncle Donnie, Lance, Allan and Donna and your children. My memories of Aunt Greta are few. She and Uncle Donnie lived on the other side of the country and the few times that I remember meeting her she was a very well spoken and petite woman who loved my Uncle Donnie and her children very very much.....RIP Greta
