Delmanor Glen Abbey Honours Veterans with a Heartfelt Service

As part of a week devoted to honouring veterans, the residents of Delmanor Glen Abbey held a service to reflect and give thanks to all of the men & women that served our country in war.

Rev. John Shearman and Rev. Ted Kersey lead the service for the Delmanor seniors and staff.

It was a very emotional time as Rev. Kersey spoke of "Where were you 66 yrs ago May"?  Rev Kersey reminded everyone of the contributions of those that operated the factories and kept the homes while family members fought for our freedom abroad.
