Lois, Bruce, Heather & Brian: We were so sorry to learn of Doug's passing. Unfortunately Norm tripped over the dog's rope last week and tore all the ligaments in his leg and we were unable to attend the Memorial Service at the Legion. Please accept our sincere thoughts and if there is anything that we can do, do not hesitate to call. - Posted by: Lynn/Norm Greaves (Friend) on: Oct 12, 2009
