Hi Aunt Leela,I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I'll always remember your visits when you both stayed at our place. Very nice childhood memories of you and Uncle Merle.Cindy (Barter) Brennan
I would like to send my condolences to the McAllister family. I knew Merle from the legion as he use to enjoy watching us play snooker, and sold Merle and Leela two cars from work. Merle was a very nice gentleman, and I enjoyed chatting with him when he met.
So sorry to hear about Uncle Merle. Have fond memories and hope things were peaceful. Sincere condolences to Aunt Liela, Micheal and Shirlee.
