Death notice for the town of: Sudbury, Province: Ontario
…Feeling Sad… Ed spent a lot of his teenage years “hanging” with my older brothers Keith and Gerrit… Most of the time they spent annoying me! It was 3 against one! Fun for them but not for me… over the years I have unfortunately lost touch with my ‘adopted’ brother … Yes I forgave them all a long time ago… it is with a heavy heart that I let go of a family member…. Feeling very Sad…
