Condolence from Gordon and Joan Campbell on April 9th, 2015 2:14 PM

Jean, my cousin, and I spent many a Summer together and had our first paying job together at the Imperial Hotel in Grand Bend. I will always remember her wonderful laugh and how she enjoyed life. Jack was also part of those early times . She and Jack had a way of enjoying life and meeting good times and bad. Even though we were living a distance from each other, when we met we could take up where we left off, be it years before. I am sure the Good Lord met her smiling, and received her with open arms. I will be making a donation to St Anthony’s kitchen in Palo Alto, California in her memory.

Dearest Chuck, Val and Ford Family

I am so sorry for your loss, I remember Jean with fond memories of her and the family coming into Tim’s each and every morning.

Jean can now join Jack and forever be together

” Death brings pain that time can only heal,
No words could ease what we truly feel;
But with God, her joy is eternally sealed,
And cherish her memories that death can’t even steal.
Lift up a smile for she is already in the paradise.”

Condolence from Patrick Hajas on April 17th, 2015 10:54 AM

Our condolences to the Ford family for your loss.
I have wonderful memories of heading to your family cottage. It’s where I honed my bass fishing skills, received my first set of stitches! Because you know… sending your children out to catch crayfish with a glass fishbowl makes sense. (parenting fail. Love you Mom and Dad) And flipping through stacks of comics that I had never seen before. (probably worth millions now).
Plenty of great memories I will carry forever.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Patrick, Erin, Madeleine and William Hajas
