    Terry,Janice,Colleen,Mark and families
    Thinking of you during this difficult time. I have many wonderful memories of your dad growing up and being neighbours and delivering his newspaper on Kent Street. I also got to enjoy his smile and humourous side living in C4th when he lived on Main Street and again when he lived on John Street and we were like neighbours again. I hope that your wonderful memories will help you during this difficult time and knowing your mom will be waiting for him .

    Dear Marc, Janis, Colleen and Terry:

    We wish to offer our deepest sympathy to all of you in the loss of your dad, Murray. We have many fond memories of him and are so grateful to God to have known him in our lives. We are truly blessed.

    We regretted that we could not make it to the funeral home as Miles was sick and I was working evenings, but you were in our thoughts and prayers. Usually we would send a card, but we did not have any addresses.

    May it comfort you to know that Murray was very highly thought of and respected. He helped so many people and gave his time so freely to do so. He will always have a very special place in our hearts.

    Love from Miles and Mary
