    I am very thankful for the time that I had with, the smiles, and the laughs.

    You were one of the sweetest people I had ever met and I won’t forget all of our jokes, and taking care of you on the days that I did.

    Bernice and families
    I’m sorry to hear of Marie’s death. It brings back many memories of Marie and Gord
    as far back as the 1950’s when the King family and Sant family were neighbours and we
    had many occasions together including snowmobiling, fishing, electrical work, or just visiting.
    May they both Rest In Peace
    Audrey
