Not sure what to say?

My condolences. Can you tell me if your father was related to an Edward Maxwell of Kirkland Lake or to Edward's daughter Lee Maxwell of Kirkland Lake. Am doing some genealogy research re Maxwell's of Kirkland Lake in the period before and during WW2. Thanks in advance.

Dear Dad,
Robert and I went to the Yizkor Service at Temple Menorah and I remembered when you dropped myself, David and Cheryle off for Roshashana and you backed up and hit Rabbi Ungers' wife's car. That is what you got for never attending service with us. I guess I am the only one who remembers that. We said the Mourner's Kaddish and the following prayer for your memory.
May G-d remember the soul of my father who has gone to his eternal home. In loving testimony to his life...

57 years of hand holding my mom and dad on his last day

Dear Karen, Jeff, Cheryl and to all that loved Jack,

I am sorry for the circumstances that brought me to your dad, but in a short time I took care of him, I was able to get a sense of who he was. I really enjoyed hearing his life stores, his sense of humor, and always wanting his neck and back scratched, along with his feet rubbed.

When I would make him a meal he would always ask if I would join him. Those were the times he would share his stories and other times we...

I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH MY 30+ YEARS OF MEMORIES OF JACK. HE HAS ALWAYS TREATED ME LIKE I WAS PART OF HIS FAMILY EVEN WHEN I WAS HIS EMPLOYEE!
HE WAS AN INTELLIGENT PERSON AND WAS QUITE THE PHILOSOPHER. HE ALWAYS GAVE ME ADVICE AND GUIDANCE AS HE DID TO HIS OTHER CHILDREN AND I TRULY DID APPRECIATE IT. WHEN I GOT MARRIED AND HAD MY CHILDREN, HE ALSO EMBRACED THEM AS PART OF HIS FAMILY. WE WILL EACH HAVE OUR SPECIAL MEMORY OF HIM. WE WILL TRULY MISS HIM. IN LATER YEARS HE HAD TOLD ME...

Though I will never have the chance to meet you Jack on this earth. I can say you truly were amazing and so very blessed. I can spiritually feel the love that was shared. If I may share these words of comfort to the Maxwell Family, which were shared with me in my time of lost: Your husband and father Jack has been called back to "Our Heavenly Father" because his job and time here has been gratefully blessed & fulfilled. Now God needs Jack and he is forever at peace. Jack I pray for your...

I'm grateful for the time we had to spend with Jack. He was one of a kind, and he is truly missed.
A little bit of Jack lives within all the Maxwell clan, and for that you can all be proud.

Good bye dear father-in-law. Until we meet again.
