Skip and Joy - the best cottage neighbours ever. Skip will be missed so much by all who knew him and loved him. He was there for everyone, in good times and bad - always ready with a hug. His bacon and egg breakfasts were the best! It was an honour knowing you, Skip, my friend. Bless you. Margaret and the family. - Posted by: Margaret Taylor (Friend) on: May 28, 2018
