So sorry to hear about Uncle George. I just read about his illness and death in this mornings paper (Sept. 8) and was very sad to say the least. I have many happy memories from my childhood when you all lived in Leitches Creek and I would come to visit from Toronto. Swimming at Groves Point and carefree summer days with Uncle George and Aunt Peggy, and my sweet cousins Beth, Anne, and little Bonnie. I will always remember those days...so long ago... before the mists of time, distance and indifference separated us all. I know you must miss him very much, and I send along my heartfelt condolences. I wish you all Love and Peace.
Lisa and I send our Condolences. Our thoughts and Prayers go out to Noreen and the family.
Ann, Cindy, Larry and all your family. We're so sorry to hear of the loss of your father and grandfather. Thinking of you at this time and hope you are thinking of all the happy memories you have. Love Deb, Joe & Jillian xxoo
