Dear Dennis and extended family.
I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. He was a great man. When I worked at Prince George he kept me laughing all the time. I had the pleasure of visiting with him last week and got one of his great hugs, he looked awesome and we had a great visit, so happy I saw him last week. He always talked about his boys and his family and how proud he was of all of you. I will remember him for his total honesty and his beautiful plants in his window that he took such great care to grow, and many more things to many to mention.
I am so sorry I couldn’t make it today to the visitation. Thinking of all of you.
Love,
Barb Hardy.

Sandra ( McLellan) & Larry Hern
Dear Leroy and Nancy, Denny and Mary all your families,
We were saddened to read that Don had passed away. With our parents being such great friends over the years, many happy memories came flooding back of time spent at the family farm, helping with chores, and lots of Sunday dinners shared together. Don encouraged Dad to take a job selling farm equipment and Mom and Dad so enjoyed the many trips they went on together. Dancing with Don was always a treat too! It’s hard to lose your Dad, but may the love of family and friends and all the happy memories shared give you some comfort in the coming days.
