Ron Bigelow

Hello Ron, you have been an excellent husband to my mother, and gracious to her children. On the very rare occasion we visited, she was happier with you than I had seen her years. You made my mother smile, sometimes in amusement, but always with pleasure. I am always saddened that her stroke robbed you both of what should have been many more years of being fully together. Thank you for your unswavering faithfulness and love. About mom herself I shall say this: she was a good wife and mother in the fullest sense of scripture as long as she was able... And beyond. You cannot ask for anything more.
Hugs to you Mom, maybe I will get to sing and play for you again,
You loving child,
Julia-Kim Mac Dougall.

Ron and Family

I was so sad to read of Myrna’s passing, she was such a lovely lady and neighbour. Although grade 3 was more than a couple of decades ago, I remember her class fondly and know she was a wonderful teacher.
Thinking of you Ron, Kim and Joyce
