Barb would like to express her gratitude to all the nurses, family, especially her daughters Marni and Traci and Bill's sister Elsie (Eugene), friends, and neighbours for their love and support during this sad time.

Dad, we had hard times but we still enjoyed each other's company and had many good laughs of our own things that where just between you and me. I miss you, you where a good person in your own way. I hope you are in a good place and at peace with your life and decisions. We all make mistakes dad, we sure do. I forgive you and will always remember you. I wish we could have told each other that we loved one another so many more times... I will see you again one day. No one but you and me understood our relationship for it was complicated but very meaningful. Dad I love. I know life was not easy but you made it...Always remember you. - Posted by: Amanda Stewart (daughter) on: Nov 20, 2012
