Not sure what to say?

Dear Aunty Marj, Heather and Val, I will always remember your Dad (Uncle John) as a cornerstone in my life. He was my "Uncle" from the day I was born in 1937 and will always remain in my heart.
We had such fun last summer in Penticton, and dinner together,(by accident) as well as the visits that we planned. We never ran out of things to talk about even if we had not seen each other for awhile.As a Shriner he sponsored me for Job's daughter when I was 15 and also drove me in the back of a...

He Only Takes The Best
God watched you as you suffered,
and knew you had your share.
He gently closed your weary eyes and took you in his care.
Your memory is our keepsake, with that we will never part.
God has you in his keeping, we have you in our hearts.

Nothing could be more beautiful than the memories we have of you.
To us you were someone special. God must have thought so too.

All our lives we shall miss you, as the years come and go,
but in our...

My Dad was the most wonderful father a person could have...generous, loving and supportive. I will miss him terribly. I really thought he would live for 100 years but, unfortunately, he was called just short of that. He left many friends and aquaintances who will miss his sense of humour, great knowledge and advice. He treasured each day he was given and every friend he made. I loved him with all my heart and soul.

It was with great sadness to hear of Johns' passing. I have known John and Marj for a very long time and had many laughs when we enjoyed times together. I remember a golf game at Bermuda Dunes when John was giving me advice on which club to use and I did not pay attention to him but did my own thing. He praised me for the shot, needless to say I never told him I didn't take his advice. Marj, you would laugh about that one. Unfortunately, I will be away and not able to attend the service...

Dear Uncle John, I will miss you so much. I'll never forget your wonderful smile, gentle advice, all the fun and laughter you shared with me and our family.
I hope you are enjoying a game of golf in Heaven with your childhood buddy, John McLeod.
We'll meet again.
Love to Aunty Marj and family. You are in my heart and thoughts every moment of the day. Jo.
