Guestbook

  1. Sarah and I are very sorry for your loss. We want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and if there is anything we can do for you or your family please let us know.

  2. We will never forget the day we came early to look at the house and Russ came to the door and gave us the royal tour before the real estate agent even arrived. Edna was in a cast, but she was so cheerful and kind to us. Russ knew right away we loved that sweet little house he\’d grown up in and that we would always take care of it as if our own family had owned it for generations. We feel honored to have known Russ, who had one of the kindest hearts on the planet, and we are honored he wanted us to live in his family\’s home. Both of us will miss him terribly (and Kathleen will always treasure the garden stone he carved her name in.) Lots of love to the entire Winter clan – you\’ve lost so much this past year. Know that you are in our hearts and we are hurting along with you. Living where we do, everywhere we look we see something of both Russ and Bruce, and it\’s a harsh reality to know neither of them will be back to see the old family home. Joyce and Joan and Edna, you are always welcome – we still think of this place as being as much yours as it is ours as you are the ones who first filled it with love and made it what it is today. With much love and our deepest sympathy, David and Kathleen
