Dear Jan and Family: I was very saddened to read of your father's death today in the notices online. I always remember your parents as the "cool parents" - back in the day. Even when we know the inevitable in near, it still doesn't make it easier when the times comes. I have been blessed to still have my parents but my mother has developed Alzheimers in the last few weeks and is very steadily and quickly going downhill. Both John and I send you our best - you are in our thoughts. Take strength from eachother. Di Brown

We were saddened to hear about the loss of Jim and we were fortunate that he could make the trek to Grand Bend for Rick's birthday. I will remember his sense of humour and how he lifted the spirits of a room when he entered it. Condolences to the whole Wilbur clan.
