Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

Peter & I met at CNC & sang in Prof Taylor's choir together. We reconnected in Winnipeg many years later when we both attended The Truth Project at Calvary Temple. We used to get together for breakfast or lunch when I was pastor at Selkirk Alliance church. See you in heaven, my friend. Condolences to Linda. - Posted by: Brad Dunham (Friend ) on: Mar 11, 2018
