Dear John and Jackie and family
We are hearing about your mother’s passing on email. We are unable to pay our condolences in person as we would prefer but our sincere sympathy is sent to both of you. We can remember when you lived in Toronto, the stories you always had about your Mom and Dad. We enjoyed them then and remember them now at such a sad time. Wish we could be there to give you our hugs and kisses. God is relieving her of her earthly pain and leaving you with many wonderful memories of her. Love
from us both …Irene and Tom

Dear Johnny and Jacqueline,
I just wanted to pass on my condolence for your lost. I wish there was something that I could say to make this easier. I had hoped that she would have been around for her birthday and possibly even Christmas but in the end I must believe that God know best and in his infinite mercy he decided it was best to take her home. I will continue to pray for you and for God to impart his peace that passeth all understanding to your entire family.
with all my love,
Bernadette
