Bill Kellier, it's your neighbour from the 19-sixties on Canterbury Street. So sorry to hear you lost your loving wife Deb. Even though it's been so long since I moved from Chatham, information still makes its way up north to my place. I'll always have fond memories of growing up hanging with you like you were my older brother. You were always so nice to me, even when you were working and pulled me over. I'm not able to make the celebration of life. However, I wanted you to know that Heather and I are thinking of you at this difficult time.
Take care,
Allan and Heather Tayles

Dear Bill and family,
We are very saddened to hear of Deb’s passing, she was such a kind and loving person. I really appreciated her support over the years as she helped look after my parents needs at the doctor’s office. Her lovely smile and and positivity always made my day, and as you were the same I could see how you were the perfect couple all of these years. I know you will miss her terribly but cherish all of those wonderful memories you made over the years and know her legacy will live on in the reflection of your children and grandchildren. Sorry I could not be there for you to say this personally, but our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family at this difficult time.
