There is nothing I can say that will erase the what has happened. So many wonderful memories from the past 45 years. Holidays, celebrations, weddings, losses, we were always there for each other.
Spur of the moment dinners, vacations, hunting trips (Doug Davies Ranch!) and fishing trips. These we will always have to remember.
Thank you for being there for me over the years& the memories.
Just remember when you Harold, Gary and your sisters are partying you are forever in our thoughts and hearts missing you.
Lovingly always

Relation: good friend
We were totally shocked to hear of Shirley’s sudden passing. We were so grateful though that we could spend time with the rest of the family at her celebration of life. We will always remember the great times we had together out in Mission whether remodelling the house or fixing Pat’s vehicles or just having a party. Shirley was a great hostess and loved to entertain with all her homemade goodies to serve even when we just popped in. Our paths may have widened over the years but the feeling of “family” has never left us no matter how many miles we were apart. Blessings to you Delmar as you carry on til you meet your Bride on the other side.
With Love
Robbie and Pat
