Condolence From: Susan Jewell (Holman)
Condolence: Sending sympathies from the "Holman" family. So many have fond memories of Mr. Medland, but one of the more fond memories is when he would say "How you doing SUNSHINE?" It wouldn't matter who you were and it would certainly brighten your day. Of course, seeing him at the store, along with Mrs. Medland and Barb too, was a pleasant one as there would always be a warm reception and good conversation. Cherished memories for all and knowing he is now in a place where he will not only continue his SUNSHINE legacy, but also receive it in abundance. Take care SUNSHINE - Mr. Medland.
