To Bruce, Linda, Gary, Brianna, Mark, Florence & Bob Snr, We were sorry to read of Marlene's passing and wanted to let you know our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We would of course by at her Funeral Service tomorrow but as we are now living in Belleville that is not possible. Hello to our old neighbours the McArthurs on Silverbirch. A lot of changes in the neighbourhood that is for sure. Take care Bruce & Paula Ghent
