Dear Carol, Tom and family,
We are very, very sad to hear of the passing of Bert. Over the years while working at the carriage shop for Tom and Carol I grew to know Bert. Unexpectedly did I find that Bert and my Grandfather Harvey McLarnon knew each other and in fact were neighbours. I really enjoyed the stories that Bert told when he would visit the shop, there were times that I laughed so hard that tears came to my eyes. What a wonderful man Bert is, I feel very lucky to have met such a man as your father Carol.
Carol and Tom hold special places in our hearts, sorry for your loss.
P.S. Thanks Carol for all of the times that you took Sheena into your house so that Krista and she could play. Sheena always talks of the great times she had at the Penhale house.
God Bless all of the Families,
John, Karen, Sheena and Cody McLarnon.
