Murray and Joan Todd
We are sorry about the loss of Kenn. He was a friendly neighbour who always had a smile and a joke to tell. We will miss seeing him sitting on his tractor or inspecting his old cars or helping us put the chain back on our chainsaw.
We enjoyed seeing his wishing well or his Christmas lights and church which adorned his front lawn.
The family is in our thoughts.
Sincerely,
Murray and Joan Todd

Lois, this is a time of much sadness. I am so glad I dropped in the odd time and had a little visit with you and Ken. Ralph has stopped and talked with both of you on many ocasions. Lois, the Lord Jesus, said he was going to prepare a place in Heaven and where I am you also can be there. God so loved the world that he gave us only son that whoever believes in him shall be saved.
To be in a place where there is no pain and suffering has got to be the best when you are here in pain and susffering.
Ralph & Sandra
God Bless you Lois and your whole family.

Lois,
I was so very sad when JoAnne told me of the loss of your Kenn. He was such a good man and will be missed. I still treasure the blanket rack he made for me way back in 1984.
May your heart be filled with all the joy you had together these past 59 years.
With sincere condolences,
Love, Terry
