    Dear Richard, Chris, Betty and Bill,

    It was with a heavy heart to recently hear about the passing of Aunt Jessie. I have memories of her visits to Ancaster when I was younger. She stayed in touch with me with cards specifically after the passing of my father, her brother Andy. She requested a picture of her grandnephew Calum. Later she stated to me that she kept it on her fridge. She will be missed.

    May the grace of God help you and bring you comfort and consolation at this time.

    Drew, Cheryl and Calum Rees

    Hello Richard, after many long years, you are hearing from us. Karl sent on the message of your wife’s recent passing. We are sorry about your loss. We are sure you will miss her a lot. At any age, it is not easy to be parted from a loved one. Erich is now 84, and I am 79 tomorrow. So we are at a “Ripe Old Age,” too. Thinking of you with fond memories and love, Erich and Annemarie

    Richard and family, so sorry to hear of Jess’s passing.
    she always had a smile and a kind word, she will be missed by many. Memories will be difficult for a time, but they will go from grieving and anger to thinking of the happy times that you shared over the years you were together.
    Cherish the memories that make you cry and the memories that bring a smile and happy tears; keep her close to your heart, and it is okay to talk to her . . . . . she is listening <3

When I first met your Dad and Mom, Murray was playing ball on the same team as your Dad.Between your Dad and Doc Kyle, they sure loved to give me a hard time,but I was pretty good at giving it back. Then as Bill got older ,he was just a chip off the old block.I have wonderful memories of your Family, so many laughs and great times.Hugs to all.?
