I’m so sorry that you’ve lost both your parents - wonderful souls who were so very kind to me and my kids when my husband passed away. Ernie helped me with plumbing and electrical when we moved to our new house, and a Gloria helped me with laundry and being home for my kids and making dinner for us once a week. They were both so kind and generous.
May many beautiful memories sustain you as you mourn their passing!
With deepest sympathy, Wendy Timmermans
