To Doreen, Shelia and families, My deepest condolences on the passing of Vin. Vin and Doreen have been apart of my life for all of my life. I hope Dad was at the gates to heaven to meet Vin on his arrival and the stories of cheese making are flowing like a river. May you know the peace of the Lord and His comfort during these sad days.
