Dear Wanda and family,
One of my favourite memories was singing with Milton in the church choir. As afraid as I was, Milt made it easier by being very supportive and kind. We always had a laugh and many a great conversation.

Egmondville Church is a church family that welcomed Bev and I with open arms in 1985. We have been blessed to share many fond memories of experiences that we were a part of with the both of you.

Paul and Joan Spittal
Paul and i were very sorry to hear of Milton’s death. Milton and Wanda were the best of neighbours, while we lived on the farm . Shared the news of Milton’s death with our daughter, Cara. She recalled Wanda driving she and her brother to school the odd time, if they missed the bus. I also recall Wanda driving me up the Mill Road from their farm to the end of our lane way during several winter storms. Paul recalls how helpful Milton was in helping him to tame the weeds that had overtaken our field.
Our thoughts are with you and your family.
