Susan and Family, may God bless you and grant you peace during this difficult time. Sharon Burns Scottsdale, AZ.
I was fortunate to move home to spend the past 2.5 years with you! Will miss watching grumpy old men, laurel & hardy with you. Miss telling you about my latest Canadian adventure I took, The next civil war reenactment, New findings in our family genealogy. Thanks every time you came to get me when the car broke down, didn’t start from arctic cold & let me use yours. Jon
Sorry to hear of the loss
