Excerpts from online Guestbook:
29 August 2009 -- My sympathies to the family. I have very fond memories of Mrs. Arbour. She lived down the street and you couldn't meet nicerpeople than Sid and Frances. It was a joy to me growing up to have them as friends. Gone but not forgotten!!! Renee St Pierre, Windsor, Ontario
To Bob and Liz: Jean and Family -- Our deepest sympathy: Frances and Sid will always be in our hearts. We lived in the white house beside themin Tecumseh, raising two boys in the 60s. The thoughtfulness and kindness, especially to Todd (ourson) whois a Doctor now. also our other Son, Tim, who is a Doctor also. We spent many happy times with them, until we built our home in Windsor. In our prayers --------- Bill and BetteSands.
