Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

  • My deepest sympathy to you (Leanne) and your family. I only had the pleasure of meeting your dad once but I could certainly see where you get a lot of your personality from. Your dad was kind, strong and joked with me for the few minutes we chatted. I know how much you love him and how you have always offered your support to both your parents seem so effortless. You are all in my thoughts and prayers! - Posted by: Jenn Mousseau (Friend) on: Dec 03, 2022

  • I have only met Bill and Dorthy twice and each time they both made me feel so welcome and part of the family. Bill's death will leave a big hole in the heart of all who had the privilege to know him, that no one else can quite fill. My love and condolences to Dorthy who has so bravely weathered her own physical limitations for so many long lonely months last year. It is my sincere hope that she and her family will be able to find some peace in his memories, and the life they all were privileged to share. With my love.

  • My sincerest deepest sympathy to Dorothy, Bonnie, Leanne and family. I had the wonderful opportunity to have known Bill and Dorothy for over 50 years, having met at Dauphin River, our favorite camping and fishing resort. Bill was one of the most beautiful people, a good friend and remained so all of these years. His presence will be greatly missed. May you find comfort in knowing that Bill is with our Lord and Savior now, not to suffer anymore. I shall never forget him. - Posted by: Joey Lavallee (Family Friend ) on: Nov 29, 2022
