Our deepest sympathy to you as you mourn the loss of your dad. We always appreciated him very much. We really enjoyed having him help us a number of years with the corn harvest. You will miss him very much but may God be very near to you at this time of sorrow. - Posted by: Fred & Helen Rempel (Family) on: May 19, 2005
