Oh Melvin....I have thought of you and your family many times over the years, from back in the days of Cochenour. I recall watching tv at your home..the only tv in town, and the only phone in the neighbourhood!! It all brings back fond memories of trading comics, raiding gardens and gravel pits and forests. Thank you for all of that. Condolences to the wonderful family of Holmes' ..You all have a very special place in my heart. Forever grateful for your part in my life 😊💕💕 - Posted by: Betty-Jean Spakowski (Friend) on: Jun 07, 2021
