Condolences Sharon and Dion and all your close
extended family members at this time of Ian',s passing. Keeping you all close in my thoughts and prayers and giving thanks that his time of suffering has ended and for the wonderful caring you gave to your Dad during these past years.
I hold on to so many past family memories as cousins from our childhood and growing up and interacting closely through the years with sisters ANN and JUNE and my regular visits to uncle Bills grave .
Thank you Sharon for your thoughtful caring and inclusion of me with Ian through more recent years with messages which I have so appreciated, and our elder family members are diminishing. Gone but never forgotten but always remembered .Hold onto all your memories of happy times spent together.
Love Cousin Lynda Mathews
