Not sure what to say?

I didnt know Eugene, but knowing Irene, i can only imagine how great of a person he was. So sorry to hear, Irene. I miss you and i can't wait to see you.

I am sorry that I was unable to attend the services. My prayers to Van, Aaron and Irene.

Aaron and Van, I knew your father and mother when you were very young. My wife Anna and I were very good friends with them both. We were together nearly every weekend while attending UofA. Our relationship was solid with them both. Your father was a fun and loving man who had a peaceful soul (as was your Mother). Even though it's been years since we've seen each other, I will miss him every time I think of him. Van, ironic your daughter was Baptised last Sunday in Fayetteville and what...

While we didn't have the opportunity of knowing Mr. Eugene Holmes, however, we've recently come to know his son Aaron and his young family. We feel blessed to have met and come to know how such wonderful people the Holmes family are. We extend our deepest sympathy and prayers during this difficult time of loss.

Larry was my first friend when Mary and I moved to Rogers in '07-8 . His firm brokered our home purchase , getting us in with only 24 hours notice , with his partner Ann Yates.

We remained friends and he ultimately introduced me to Bob ,my future partner .Much would not have occurred without Larry . He will be missed.

Nancy, I am very sorry for your loss. I know it's been quite a ride, and I'm thinking of you, Leslie, and Owen, as well as Larry's family.

Dear family,
You know how much Larry and I loved each other and I will always treasure the time we spend together in our partnership. He had such a sweet soul. Your loss is mine.

Van,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers ... such fond memories from past years.
