Jim and Ron and families: Joyce and I were saddened to hear of Fern's passing. Always enjoyed our conversations when I bumped into her out walking the town. She and Anne Anderson were a big help in making my mom Arnetta feel more comfortable when she had a brief respite at RVilla. Our thoughts are with you.

Jim, Ron and family; I was so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was such a lovely lady with a wonderful sense of humour. Your Mom and Dad were great friends of my parents and they had a lot of fun together with their bowling team the Beavers. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
