Dear Dan, Colleen & Family:
I was so sorry to hear about your mother. Unfortunately, I have had a recent total knee replacement so was unable to make it to visitation or to the funeral as I am not travelling much yet. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Sincerely

I have many fond memories if Aunt Kay. She was a special Aunt and Godmother to me. One of my favourite memories is when Aunt Kay sent me a beautiful fuzzy pink pajama doll for Christmas when I was five. She had a great way of making each one of us feel special. Both Uncle Dan and Aunt Kay were wonderful to me and to my children and attended so many of our birthdays to help us celebrate.

Dan, Colleen and families…What a tragic time for you and your loved ones. I know Kay will be praying for you at this time. Dan will welcome her home beside him. Remember all those CWL meetings Kay used to go to Danny, and Dan would call – and we would fry up some eggs and toast while she was away. She knew! And Danny – you were so special to her; and she thought the world of you Colleen – you were perfect for her son. And the grandchildren – she was so proud. The great grandchildren were a bonus. Hope the memories see you through these tough days. Our love and prayers go out to you all.
Ken, Anne & family
