      Sherry I was sorry to learn about your father’s passing. Although I didn’t know him well, I remember that any time we spoke he had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. My condolences to you, Fraser and the rest of your family. I know you will all miss him dearly. Kindest regards, Wade.

    Even though we are unable to be with you today we send our thoughts and prayers. It saddened me to hear of Uncle Eric’s passing, it was the end of an era for our family he was a special uncle. Gordon and I enjoyed our many visits with Uncle Eric, there was always some bantering, especially about the selling of his trailer where he claims he should have gotten more money.
