Alice and Paul, Irene and Rob, Dennis and Jackie and Roseanne and Jamie, I have so many fond memories when I think back over the years living across the road from your family. I am so grateful to have been blessed with such good neighbours, friends, helpful in so many ways and especially making us feel welcomed in the neighborhood. Your mom and dad were beautiful examples of loving, Christian people. I truly feel your loss and have a feeling mom and dad are happy to be in the arms of Jesus together again, and with Anthony and Pauline. My love and prayers go out to you all.
