Dear Eaton and Racho families.
I would like to extend our condolences to your families. Don and Joan were so nice and fun to be around. I remember when Seaforth had such fun times at all the legion dances and especially at the Arena events. Always a nice hello meeting on the street. The Longstaff Family.
