Fraser Family, we are so sorry for your losses. Your Father & Kevin are in our thoughts & prayers.
May God give you...
for every storm, a rainbow,
for every tear, a smile,
for every care, a promise.
For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share,
for every sigh, a sweet song,
and an answer, for each prayer.

Our sincerest condolences to Janice and family for Kevin's passing on Father's Day, and for Mr Fraser's passing the day before. How horribly sad. I did electrical work for Kevin several years ago. Annmarie and I take walks by the Fraser House in the evenings. We never knew Mr Fraser, but knew Kevin and Janice, and the kids. God Bless.
