Dear Aunt Eileen, Doug, Fran, Lynn, Oliver and families, Our thoughts are with you at this time and are glad you were all able to spend time with Uncle Alan in this last few weeks. We know you will have the joy of sharing many happy memories together as you celebrate his long and cherished life. " In quiet, may you find comfort In memory, my you find healing In the power of love, may you find peace." All our love, Janice and David
To my Uncle Alan, You will always be very much a part of my childhood memories - sitting there with all the adults at Grandma & Grandpa Wilsons looking out at their beautiful garden while we children ran wild mugging for the camera. Forever a gentle sweet man. And to Aunty Eileen, Doug & Lynn: Though nothing can bring back the hour of spendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. Sending you love ... Sue
Eileen, Lynn, Doug and family, For over 20 years we had the privilege of being not only your neighbours, but your friends as well. Al will be sadly missed but there are lots of good times to be remembered. Marsha and Stephen
