Danny Redden laid a poppy at the grave of a former neighbour. He later emailed the man\u2019s son and daughter, who do not live locally. \u201cI told them, we remembered him and laid a poppy at his grave. They were so appreciative. When you hear that, you need to continue doing it. It\u2019s the honourable thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the service, attendees went on to lunch at Louis Brier Home and Hospital. Redden described it as \u201ca lovely lunch, followed by live piano music and songs from the war years. They did a wonderful job.\u201d Redden credited Rachel Worth at Louis Brier for coordinating the afternoon\u2019s entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Danny Redden places a poppy at a family grave.
