Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your mother and grandmother, Ethel. It was always a pleasure to have her in our Sunday night services at the Clarenville Retirement Centre. Now, her faith has become reality; to be absent from this body is to be in the very real presence of our Lord, Jesus Christ. With love, Pastor Andrew Ball.

Paul, Gary, Gail, Louise, Lisa, Connie and families;
So sorry to hear about Aunt Ethels passing.
Faye and I send our love and condolences to you all.
I have so many memories of staying at your house when we were all kids and teenagers.
We regret that we can’t be with you all today, as we are out of the country. Our travels took us to Spain yesterday. We ran into a souvenir store where there, on the shelf, was a collection of thimbles. Back when we first started travelling, she always wanted us to bring back a thimble from the places we would visit. Faye and I both paused for a minute there, smiled, and thought about her. She was a sweet lady who was easy to love!
Much Love to you all,
Jeff and Faye Hunter
