Dear Family,
The passing of Aunt Jean is the closure of an era. She represented kindness, hard work, fun and faith. Aunt Jean was always around for support and ready to play a good hand of Uchre. I always felt love and happiness when around her and of course Uncle Teddy. Happiness is having been with both of them and knowing that they are together again.
All my love and blessings for the family.
Your Toronto cousin,
Patti

Dear Colleen, Dan, and family,
I was so saddened to just read of Colleens moms passing.
Losing a parent leaves such a huge and empty void in your heart.
Colleen spoke so lovingly of her mom at the get together in September.
You were all so blessed for her to have been part of your children and grandchildrens lives but it
certainly doesn’t make the goodbye any easier.
Sending prayers and hugs!
