August 28, 1974 - November 21, 2011
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Josh Christian. Josh, 37 did not survive injuries sustained on November 12 in a car accident.
Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love
and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger,
and you seek him for peace.
When your friend speaks his mind you
fear not the "nay" in your own mind,
nor do you withhold the "ay".
And when he is silent your heart ceases
not to listen to his heart;
For without words, in friendship,
all thoughts, all desires,
all expectations are born
and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend,
you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may
be clearer in his absence, as the mountain
to the climber is clearer from the plain.
~Kahlil Gibran
A gathering in his honour will be held on December 10, 2011 from 1-3pm at the Cumberland Masonic Hall. 2687 Dunsmuir Ave, Cumberland. In lieu of flowers a donation can be made to the Cumberland Community Forest Society.
So very sorry Miriam for your loss. We were unable to attend the service, but our thoughts were with you and your families that day and still are. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.
