Dear June, Our deepest sympathies to you, Ron, Trent, & family. We have thought of your family often over the years as you hold a special place in our hearts. You - for your kindness, guidance, & mentorship in my nursing career. I'll never forget my 12-hour partner, what I learned from you and how we supported each other! And Bill's quiet and kind heart whenever we visited at the Hurricane's games. Hoping you and your family feel the love sent to you by the many who hold your family dear. May it surround you & bring comfort. With Love, Kevin & Leona

Dear June, My condolence on your loss. Dennis passed away this February. I always remember how kind he was to me when I was on his curling team with our Alberta agriculture league about 50 years ago. I was not very good! I hope your family is close to support you.
