Dear Lynn, Garry, Janice and family…

We are deeply saddened by your loss over the last number of months. Vern and Mona were great people and we will really miss them both. Be comforted though that they are now together and won’t be lonely… We have lots of wonderful memories of them and will always remember the great times we shared! Vern will have already found that big comfy chair and will be checking out the new view… probably better chair and better view than the one at our house… Our thoughts are with you all at this time… hopefully we will see you all soon!

He will be remembered for his strong leadership skills; respected for his fine business and farming practices and for his sincere love for Mona and his family.

He and Mona were quite a team. Together in eternity.

I am so very sorry for your loss – it is hard to lose someone who was so important in your life…..but I am reminded that dying is like a ship that leaves your shore and sails across to another shore and that is where Mona is celebrating his arrival.

I am so very grateful that I was able to have both of them in my life – I will always treasure that – especially on election nites
