    Mrs B. Kevin, Gordon, Jo-Anne,
    There are so many good memories of Mr. B and the laughter we shared throughout the years between our families. Distance and time cannot remove the positive memories I have of Mr. B and that will remain forever. He was a good man and will be missed by all. I look forward to seeing you all soon. My deepest regrets with your loss.
