To Those I Love and Those Who Loved Me
When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had many years.
I gave to you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you have shown,
But now it’s time I travelled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust,
It’s only for a time that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won’t be far away, for life goes on,
So, if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can’t see me or touch me,
I’ll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear,
All my love around you; soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone
I’ll greet you with a smile and say,
“Welcome Home”

To the Martin Family,
We are deeply saddened to learn today about the passing of Rob Martin.
I had the pleasure of working with Rob as a young man up and coming in his career with Telus more than 11 years ago, and spent time talking with him at different times in his career as times were changing. I always knew Rob was special, he had a great intensity about his spirit. Rob was always so genuine and wanted to make a positive impact on whatever he touched in his career. That was very important to him.
He will be deeply missed within our business community but I know missed more by his own family.
Our deepest and most sincere sympathy at this time.
May he rest in peace in God's hands.
Sincerely,
The Taylor-Erbas Family
Michele, Mitch, Rachel, James & Georgia

Your father was a wonderful man with a big smile, a great laugh and a love of life.
