Dear Kerri, Ken, and Family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Take comfort in your loving families. Enjoy the memories and cherished times you spent together. “She is only away- in your thoughts and your heart you are always together, never apart. In your sorrow remember-she’s only away…though she may not be with you the memories stay…and in time, when the hurt isn’t too much to bear, whenever you look in your heart she’ll be there.”
I was a neighbor of Jan & Kenny many years ago when we lived next door to them on Cuming Street. So much time has passed by I have thought of them many times. I didn’t know until my son told me that he just reconnected with Jodi and actually work at the same place..who would have ever imagined that would happen..and that is when I learned of Jans passing, which was over a year ago. I am so sorry about the loss..she was a wonderful person and I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with her..
