My the soul of your dad/grandpa rest in eternal peace. I’m so sorry for your loss. Find strength in each other.
I have very fond and grateful memories of Robert, my cousin, and Eveline. When I came from England to a job in London, Ontario in 1965 he met me at the airport in Toronto and took me back home for several days. I also visited them while his mother, my dear Aunt Jean, was there. He typified the family solidarity we always felt with our cousins. His family will have many happy memories of him which I hope will be a comfort for them in the future.
