    Our sympathy, love and prayers go out to the family of Erwin Richards, who was my cousin. We stopped each summer when we returned to Nova Scotia and enjoyed a visit with him. He had a happy heart, lots of stories to tell and enjoyed and appreciated the care he received after having to leave his home. God granted him a long and blessed life. May each one who knew and loved him find comfort in warm and precious memories. We provided Easter meals for ten men at the Men’s Mission in his memory. Blessings! Bob & Amy Seaboyer
