Dear Aunt Marj, Amdrew, Marjorie and Laura.
I am so sorry to hear that Uncle Hank has passed on. I have so many fond memories of spending time with you all in Delaware...Easter egg hunts, visiting DC and all the amazing monuments and when you were visiting Quebec Uncle Henry introducing us to fresh homemade spruce beer To name a few. They were always such adventures!
I am ever thankful to Uncle Henry for driving into that service station on that day and suggesting a double date with a lovely co-worker of Aunt Marj's. Thank you! 60 years later I have 2 wonderful people I call my parents because of it!
I hope that you will accept our sincere condolences and love. Uncle Henry will live on in our memories, as will he in yours.
All our love,
Kerry-Anne and Kevin Patterson and our families
