My sincerest condolences.
I now understand why you & Ken were always together and wanting to be up in Parry Sound. I miss your maple syrup; the memories & stories of all the hard work that went into making the cottage a home; Ken’s telescope envy; travel to Portugal and to Quebec to visit family. Even the name SEEKO was a tribute to a family he truly loved. I could go on and on, but I won’t.
All I want for you is to know you & Ken are and will always be remembered.

We were so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Taylor. We lived just a little further up the road on Victoria Street in Stroud. (Allan and Jean Martin, David, Heather and Leslie). I remember Mr. Taylor driving us to the 4H meetings down in Churchill. Popping by your house (with Heather to see Susan). May the memories you hold help you through the difficult days.
Sending our prayers to all of you. The Martin’s.
