We talked on the phone on Christmas day 1986 and 1987. I wished I had got to know you. We would have been very close and still have a lot in common. I know you were there with my dad on our wedding day December 21 2014. Paul and I felt your spirits present. Thank you for being there for us. With love Paul and Brenda. - Posted by: Brenda Ann Labelle (Daughter in-law) on: Mar 31, 2015
