JoAnn Lovell-Kristoferson
Dear Cathy, Doug, Mary and families, A lifetime of memories on the home farm. Walking down that long lane, overnight camping trips in the bush that backed onto the Morrison dam, laughter around the kitchen table, dancing up a storm at one of the many county events, borrowing a shower when our own well was dry, words of wisdom shared with teenagers who didn’t always listen so well. The unforgettable experience of using The Easton home to prepare for my own wedding! How fortunate I was to have you in my life. Thank you Scotty.
Brad & Cathy Gregus
Doug,
As a youngster growing up on the 4th concession, our days were filled with lots of work….lots of fun….and lots of interaction with wonderful caring neighbors and friends. And so, we especially appreciate all the loving care and helpful assistance we recieved from your whole family, including your grandparents, your parents Don & Jean, as well as all the fun filled adventures that my brother Jim and myself had with you, growing up as kids. Your father was a good friend, a good neighbor, and a good man, and speaking on behalf of all the Gregus family, we extend our admiration of your father’s character and our sympathy for your loss.
