Hi Pop. End of summer 2024. Pretty quiet around the family. Mom got cancer and beat it. Thank our Lord. She was just out East with Brenda and Deb and they had a great time. I am up at Lake Edge right now having a martini and toasting you. The place is beautiful. New owners and a fantastic couple. They still have cottage 1 through 8 here on the property, but only 1 through 7 are operational. I am missing you especially right now because I wouldn't be here right now without you. Beautiful weather and I haven't caught a fish yet, because I haven't been on the lake. Long story. You did so much for me and the other boys that it's hard to be here without you. The best years of my youth. I will hopefully be able to take these memories with me when it's my time. I am going to try off the dock tonight just for kicks. Love you always. Kenny John.

Well it is after 10 pm and Ellen and I are on Manitoulin Island for a week. We are at a B&B and just finishing the day. Going fishing tomorrow, so put in a good word for me. Miss you still every day and have come to the conclusion that this will always be. Tired, so I am heading off to bed. Love you always. Kenny John

Hi Dad. Well, we are still in the mess of Covid and every day seems a new challenge. I have a cottage booked for next summer. Lets hope that we can see this happen. Hopefully we can have Don and Dale and Wayne Corrigan join us with memories of Grace Corrigan. We will salute a few to you and Dave, Don, Bill and Gram (You know, the one that started this family). Mom still remains strong and says that she gets a lot of her strength from you. I wish I was closer to her, so we could just pop over to see her. Ellen is still waiting to have her knees redon and misses you and Dave as well. Tiger Woods is coming back from his injury (like that wasn't going to happen). He and his son were on fire last week in a charity event. I thought about having a martini while I watched. I will let you go. Miss you a great deal; as all with us do. Love Kenny John

Hi Pop. Well we are at August 2nd and seems like we are coming out of COVID 19, unless we get a second wave. Moms ok, just a little bored. She is doing well, so I would like to be a little selfish and hope she is around for a long time. I know she misses you daily. That is not about to change. We are trying to get up to the Kawarthas one more time. I know that would mean a great deal to her. Hopefully we can do it this fall, but I will continue to try and get that done. Hope you and David stay in our prayers. It still seems to be sureal that your both gone. Maybe you can reach Ronny. He still needs help. Well that’s it for now. I will send another note soon. Love you lots. Kenny John.

Hi Pop. Been a while and I am sorry. Life throws many things at you every day, that sometimes it seems undaunting; but one thing you expressed on us was to persevere through it as there are better days ahead. Sounds like something Gram used to say. The world is in the midst of dealing with a virus which is taking many lives. We are standing firm through it and I am confident this will pass. I am trying to take Mom up into the Kawartha’s one more time and we are thinking in the fall as it is so beautiful. Please be with us as we carry on the experience and the beauty that you and Mom passed onto many many people. As always, continue to look into the lives of everyone in our family. I love and miss you always. Kenny John

Well I'm off to bed Dad. You need to know that Aunt Jean and Uncle Doug have been a pillar of strength for Mom and me. I love all family; no matter what. I thank you for pointing us this way and love both Jean and Doug for being there. I will be back at a later time. Love you for ever Pop. Kenny John.

Hi Dad. Well it's Masters weekend and I actually caught some of it today. Had a death in Ellen's family and the service was today. Quiet and personal service. Had Easter dinner at Moms. It was also quiet with the Hogans, Aunt Jean and Uncle Doug, and Brian with his lady friend; Really missing you today. There are times that it feels like you were still here as I watched Tiger falling apart and then gaining again and Its just for the first time since you were gone that it was ok to watch like we used to. Also having a Martini and it's been a while. Wanted to have one with Uncle Doug, but it's not the same. I guess I am finally ok on all fronts that your gone. I will never forget you and I will continue to have this type of correspondence as it is one of my ways to talk to you. In closing, can you look in on Mom. She is still dealing with Brian and Ron with their issues. Give David my best and make sure he knows I am sorry. I did not now what happened. Love you Dave. You were always my mentor. Love you both so much! Kenny

Hi Dad. Just getting ready for bed, but wanted to thank you for bridging the gap between Ron and I. I just get the feeling that he is reaching out and think that maybe you might have had something to do with that. Perhaps this is the time for Ron to back on the rails. You told me once that it takes a Man to make a Man. I hope I can offer Ron some help in moving in a more positive direction. Love you large, forever. Ken

Hi Pop. Well, here we are again at Christmas. You remember the holiday that you didn't like until Mom helped you over that dark spell in your life when your Mother was taken from the Palmer family. I know that you are watching over us. Mom is doing the best that she can. It's only been a year since we lost David . I know he is with you in Christ's name but you need to watch over Mom as she has lost so much and she may need a little bit of help in getting through the holidays. Madison misses you and she is having some growing pains. Please make us feel you in our lives right now. Help Ron and Brian in dealing with life. Ron is having some real difficulty right now, so shed some light on him and the rest of the family. Love you forever. Kenny John.

Well here we are in May Pop. I know your birthday is coming up, so today I got all the fishing gear ready for a trip somewhere that will continue to help me with loosing you. I want to take the boat to Sarnia but I think that Mom would be too scared. Will get some fishing in somewhere. Mom is still talking about her surprise Birthday and she vows to get us all one day. Her and Dave are out at a charity event tonight and I am off to Toronto tomorrow, so just remember you left a lot of people here who miss you so much but I think your looking in one everyone really helps us. Love you forever Pop. Kenny John

Hi Dad. Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you today. I know that your anniversary is right around the corner. I didn't want to forget this important date. I know this is a very important date for Mom and you should know that I always look in on her especially on these dates. Mom is ok, she is taking life day to day. She was able to go to Florida this year and also Spain. It helps during the winter if she keeps busy. We surprised the crap out of her on her 80th birthday. Good time by all. We all miss you Dad. More than we were ever able to show you. Don't worry about Mom. She will be fine. I hope you are saving the fishing hole for me and the rest of the boys. Ellen has been thinking about you and misses your game sense of humour. Yes that is game (like the frustration game). Please keep an eye out for Mom and help her to help Ronnie through his trying time. I will always love you and will hopefully be with you some day. In the mean time...... Ken

Hi Dad. Well tomorrow is the end of April. If you had anything to make sure Mom didn’t get sick, then thanks. I didn’t miss your anniversary this year, but was just having an off day on the 27th. The time continues to float by, but the feeling of missing you will never go. Miss you Pop. Love always. Kenny John
