Dave, Debbie and Diana, So sad to hear about your Dads passing last year. I remember the Brookfield dirt biking days
and all the fun we had there. Also the snowmobiling days as well. Great times to remember.

Dear Mary Jane I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Roger. I can't imagine what you're
feeling right now, and I honestly don't have the words, but I care about you, and the and all the Porter family. He will be missed by
everyone in the Edmeston area. I will miss seeing him in the Pathfinder on my visit to Edmeston in June.
May he rest in peace
