Dear Ed and family

So sorry for your loss. We will always remember the fun we had with you and Monica in Florida. The dances and parties, the Moose, the Legion, the events in the rec hall (yours and ours), the day the four of us went out in Ken and Bernice’s boat, and much more. It was really a fun time in our lives. Monica was such a kind person.
We think about you both.

I remember my father's (Peter) sister Monica as a strong, good humoured guiding light to the family. The fact that my mother and father went away on their honeymoon to Algonquin Park with Monica and Ed says something about how much she was loved and appreciated!

I send my heartfelt condolences to your entire family. I know what a close family you all have and I know the caring role of your matriarch can not be understated.
