Paul, it was an honour to stand beside you in those hard last days as you cared for your mom at home through palliative care. I was grateful I could lend my support in some tangible ways. Thank you for passing along your words of gratitude to me. Your obvious love and care for your mom and your kindness toward me have made a lasting impact. It was a privilege to be a part of her story. I wish you peaceful days on your continued journey through life. - Posted by: Charis Klassen (Nurse) on: May 19, 2022

Mrs Kehler was A fantastic person and we kept in touch until COVID hit. Grew up with all her boys especially Bill. We were always at their home on Glenwood Crescent playing lacrosse or ball hockey. She was always watching our lacrosse games at Kelvin and I had many conversations with her for 30 + years. Thoughts and prayers to all her family.
