Marilyn shared the news of your loss. I remember your dad's laugh and smile attending Dawes and Chute events. I'm sure you, too, will remember those happy times.

Dear Joel and Rona, it has been many years since we first met. There are many wonderful memories that will always remain in my heart. From dropping in unexpected and getting advice from your dad (husband) on how to best find Joel and a good joke, to your family reunion picnic and rushing out to get Popeye's chicken, to just talking about anything and everything. I feel very blest that your family was on a path, and that I shared part of that path with your dad. He always had a calm way about him and a kind word to say. Thank you.
