    Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loved one. Words can’t express how saddened we are to hear of your loss. I can’t imagine the sadness you must be feeling from your loss. Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for your loss. May the peace that comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead.

    Gerry and Family

    My sincere condolences for your loss. Debbie and I worked together at the RCAF Academy in Borden. She was always friendly and always went the distance in helping out when needed. She was always happy and smiling. She will be sadly missed by many whose lives she touched.

    May you Gerry, find strength in this dark time. I am extremely sorry for your loss.
