Ursula, Richard and Family. Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our families share many fond memories together. Our parents were great friends and it allowed my brothers and I to have many fun times with both of you. Now our mom's are together enjoying their friendship in Heaven's kitchen and our dad's are laughing over a drink in Heaven's living room. Good times and great memories! - Posted by: Ed and family (Friend of the family) on: Oct 29, 2017

Ursula and Wally - Judy and I were very sorry and sad to hear of the recent passing of your father. Although he lived a long and fulfilling life, losing ones parent is never easy regardless of the circumstances. I remember meeting your dad a few years ago when you, Dennis and I had breakfast at the Pembina Village restaurant. I was impressed by how young, active and alert he was for his stage of life! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you both celebrate his life but also reflect on a lifetime of memories you have had as a family. - Posted by: ronald and judy smith (friends) on: Oct 24, 2017
