Andrew & Karen Truter - December 12, 2021

To all of Ted and Dwaine's family members, we are thinking of you at this sad time in your lives. Dwaine's passing leaves a big void for you and all of us who knew her. She was a beautiful person inside and out; she had a kind heart for all who were in her presence and made them feel at home. She loved her husband dearly and stood by him for over 60 years. They were inseparable, and an example of a good marriage to so many of us. Dwaine and Ted were special to Andrew and me in many ways since they first welcomed us to Cobourg 20 years ago and we miss them. Nevertheless, we also rejoice they are now together once more in Heaven and at peace. We do not weep as those who have no hope, for we know they are in the presence of their Lord and Saviour.

Jim and Jamie West - December 12, 2021

Randy and Brad and families so sorry to here of your moms passing .
