I wish I could be there to give you a big hug, Heather & family. I am so sorry for your loss- I do recall your Dad treating us really well when he came to visit in Halifax and my father was always proud of the fact that your Dad looked him up when he was in North Sydney way back when. What a nice person- you will cherish the memories I am sure.

Grandma,
I am sad to hear about Grandpa Roger passing. It was always great seeing you and grandpa on your visits to our house. Grandpa has gone to a better place and now he can rest. For those who can attend the service tomorrow his distant family is thinking of him and all of you as well. Take care and keep smiling.
