Thinking of both the Reis and Ropp families in this time of compassion. I have lots of good memories from football days.

Through work and conversations with Chad I was always struck at what great person he was and enjoyed his sense of humor, his calm and professional approach to the work we were doing.
Linda, Lorne, and Family
“Goodbye” can sometimes be
the saddest word that we must say,
because it seems so final
whenever loved ones pass away.
But looking back in memory,
we’re comforted to know
that love has never left us,
and will never let us go.
And even though we cannot know
exactly where or when,
we say goodbye believing
we will surely meet again.
Hoping the memories you keep in your heart will hold you close to your loved one….
Hoping the promise that you’ll be together again someday will help bring comfort and peace.
Thinking of you all,
The Auction Gang at Jacob Auctions
