Not sure what to say?

April, I want to express my condolences to you for the loss of your father. My prayers go out to you and your family.

Gisele,
My sympathy goes out to you and your family. I understand the void that a fathers death leaves in your heart. May happy memories help ease this difficult time.
Bless you

April...I was so sad to hear of your loss of your father. He sounds like a wonderful man who loved children as we all do. My thoughts and prayers will be with you through the following days. Claire Anderson

Dear Lorna & family, we know this is a rather sad time but a blessing as well, as Ferdy has not enjoyed quality life for some time. It seems there is never quite a right time to bid a loved one farwell, even when we know it is for the best,. so we would not wish him back. We have enjoyed knowing Ferdy (as well as your family) for many years & felt privilaged to be able to help care for him in recent years. It has been Ferdy's desire to go home for such a long time & the Lord has now...

My condolences to Aunt Lorna and my cousins Gisele and April. Uncle Fritz (as my side of the family knew him) was a good man and we were lucky to have him in our family for so many years. We all miss him.

April, I am very sorry for the loss of your dad. Both of my children (Tracie and Matthew Blizzard) were fortunate enough to have you as their kindergarten teacher. You were the most kind and compassionate teacher either of my children ever had - and that is a tribute to your dad/up-bringing. May it comfort you to know many people are thinking of you.

April, I am very sorry to read of the loss of your father. I have a wonderful picture of him and your mother as clowns, posed with Michael in your kindergarten class. My heart goes out to you and your family.
