Our condolences on the death of your dad. We are remembering the happy gatherings here in Belleville where we celebrated Advent together. You were all so young. Our after Mass coffee and donuts was a time of joyous communal songs as Basil played the guitar. The Arbour’s was a home where friends could gather and all have a good time.
Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to Monique Drew Emma and Tyler and the Arbour family and friends. Memories last a lifetime, cherish those and celebrate his life.
Bryan and Wendy Murtagh and family.
The loss of a parent is never easy. Keep his memory close to your heart-it will help you through these tough times.
Our love and prayers to All of You, Greg Lorie Jeff and Kailee
