Here is a picture of Vern and his son Peter. I’ve always liked this picture. It’s been on our fridge for I don’t know how long. I’m not even sure where it is taken. I think near Banff.
Peter sent me this picture of Vern in an email last night. It was taken with a cell phone, at the Rockyview hospital, just an hour before he passed away. All the kids have asked me to post this, as this is how they want to remember him – smiling and happy.
Doe mentioned that she had lost her father at eight years old. It certainly does remind one just how lucky they can be to have their parents live to a ripe old age.
I look at these pictures and can’t believe he is gone. It happened when we expected to take him home.. RIP dad
Amazing to see his cheerful smile. 🙂 He knew he was much loved and seems he loved much.
You were so blessed to have had him so many years. The blessings and memories will live on in you all.
He looks so happy 🙂 A lovely picture. Thankyou for sharing it. Thoughts are with you all ….
that’s a beautiful picture. Thank you for sharing it with us……. Blessings to All
Thanks Sweetie for putting up the pictures and blog post for dad. I like the way you’ve said things 🙂 We are doing pretty good. The obituary will be in tomorrows Calgary Sun.
