Suzanne, Ron and Pauline, my thoughts will be always be with you at times, when you feel down and out, for having lost such a dear person in your life.
Dear Buddy, your father was known as Bud, but you were always Buddy to me. You were everyone's Buddy. The 'GENTLEMAN" among the gentlemen from Thorne.
I shall mourn your passing, and thank God for having had the chance of knowing you and that you were at some time a part of my life that has probably made me a better person. You did that to a lot of people that have known you, with your great character and personality. You will be missed and Buddy, may you rest in peace.
Annette MOREAU
Rest in peace Bob, you will be missed.
Denny and Debbie Murray
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this journey. Memories are our greatest treasures and all our wonderful times together will live on in our stories told for as long as we live. You Sue have a special place in my heart and my one prayer among many is that you find peace in your heart. If ever you wish to visit we have the extra bedrooms as you know. We haven’t moved from our home in Zephyrhills that you and Nob came to. God bless you my dearest friend.
Mes sympathies à Louise et toute la famille Collins
