Dear Monica, I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. He was so friendly and always had a good joke to tell. I will remember the kitchen full of peppers from his backyard garden. A truly good neighbor, who will be missed. Kelly Rempel (Batenchuk). - Posted by: Kelly Rempel (Batenchuk) (Neighbor ) on: Nov 07, 2021
