My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am sad that I will not be able to be there as I am in New England.
Dear Nancy and family, we thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. Orin was a very special person and we have many special memories of our visits with him and you. We will be there in spirit tomorrow. Love Dan and Bonnie Albrecht, Sherwood Park, Alberta
Dear Johnson family,
My prayers have been with you since Mike told me of his Dad’s stroke. Your lives have been enriched and blessed many times over by the goodness of a loving husband, father, grandfather, son and friend.
I did not have the pleasure of personally knowing Orin, but by watching the lovely video tribute, I knew that he was loved immensely by those who did.
My sincere condolences go out to your family at this time of grieving.
