Bruce and I were saddened to learn of the passing of Soren and also Ilse a little earlier. They were our neighbours the entire time they lived in Swinton Park. Always admired Soren's work ethics- leaving every morning to drive to Toronto at 5:00am for work and coming home at night close to 7:00pm only to see him about twenty minutes later outside doing something around the farm. Rest in peace Soren- you have certainly earned your rest.
Dear Family, my Sincere Sympathy with the loss of your dear dad.
I am glad I just recently allowed the Mighton Funral Home to send me the notices.
I do remember hearing how hard he worked at work to come home and do the farmwork . His days were well filled for all the years your family lived in Swinton Park. May God be your strenght in this difficult time.
Sincerely Elly Pennings from Boothville
