I don't know what to say. I don't ever remember meeting Uncle Ish so I can't say much! All I really know is that he was family and he is going to be missed by everyone.

I don't know what to say. I'm sorry just does not seem to cover it, and I did not really know Ish to say any nice words about him. All I can really say is that he was family and he is going to be missed by everyone.

I read the article in the Ottawa Citizen. I was struck by Sheila's comment about anything being possible with regard to her fathers encouragement. I think the last time I was with Ish, he encouraged me to finish my degree and that anything was possible. I carried those words with me and finally did get my degree. Those words, spoken with such kindness, have been with me even until now.
I find, while I'm studying to be a fire fighter, a renewed determination to persevere. It's not just the fact that he died in a fire, but also because he went in with the intention of saving a life (Sadey). Again, Ish has been a very important figure in my life even though we had met only a handful of times.
Sincerely

I believe I got to see Ish one time in my entire life so I don't know anything about his personality, however, reading all these other entries makes me wish I had been given the chance to get to know him and his family.

God bless you all, but oh, what a lot
of living the Singhal family packed
into those years Ish was with you.
Almost as far as you could go in North
America, we'll never forget your family
trip to see us in Oregon, and the many
visits after we were back in Minnesota.
Wish we could have made it up there
to see you!!
Prayer Chain First Presbyterian Church

This was a note written to Sue from the church, which Allene has attended when in Casa Grande: Dear Sue, Thank you for sharing your sister's needs with the prayer chain. It must be real hard to be hit with a double whammy! The people of the prayer chain are very diligent and faithful. I trust that as we pray, God will surround you, each one, with His love, peace, comfort and wholeness. I'm reminded of Psalm 57:1 where we read, "I will hide under the shadow of His wings until this storm is past." What better place could we find to be in a "storm"? Godd bless you and yours.

Your sister Allene is on the prayer list of your church family this week. Many will be praying. David says in Psalm 57:1 "I will hide under the shadow of His wings until this storm is past." Sometimes we feel the storm will never stop but God is still in control. May God enfold you in His love and care, filling you with peace and comfort. God Bless you and yours.

Dear Allene, Sheila, Neena, Roy and David
I will always remember the time we visited your house on 42 Kilmory. Tim and Bob were not yet teenagers and loved our trip from Minnesota to visit you all. Over the years since then, we have enjoyed your visits to Arizona and meeting in Minnesota. The picture of Ish is so much like my memory of him. He was always so happy, full of knowledge, and love for mankind. It was wonderful to read the entries of so many of your friends, who knew him. Although I could not attend the funeral, my thoughts and prayers have been with you every moment of every day since the tragic event. May God keep you in his peace.
With deepest sympathy for your terrible loss,

Dear Alene, Sheila, Roy, Neena, Dave and Veena,
It’s seems a lifetime ago living on Kilmory Cres. In the last 48 hours, I have had a wave of memories about 42 Kilmory. “The best Halloween candy” was the trigger. It sure was. My fondest childhood memories were at 42 Kilmory. When your dad built the treehouse in the backyard, you were the envy of the neighbourhood. And later when he made the addition of the “Engine Room” it created a host of more wonderful memories for me (and Sarah). Your house was always the happening place. Your dad was always building something or working on a car. I think his biggest masterpiece was the bed he built for you Neena. I have fond memories of each of you and your father. I am honoured that he was my photographer at my wedding. I will cherish the memories of your family. I am thinking of you all at this sad time. Your father was a wonderful man.

Dear Singhal Family,
I would like to express my deepest sympathies for your loss.
Though I never met Mr. Singhal, being a long time friend and colleague of Neena's she spoke highly of him and related some of the "cross country" summer vacations you would all take in the big station wagon. What a wonderful way to see this huge land we call our home.
I sense that Neena's love for Halloween, fun sense of humour and huge heart was in part inherited from Mr. Singhal.
Life is how you live it. And it is quite obvious that Mr. Singhal not only lived it to the fullest but managed to share his gift with his family, friends and those he helped in far off countries through his work.
I will be thinking of you all.

Dear Alene,
I was so sorry to read of the sudden death of Ish and wish to pass on our deepest sympathy on behalf of Margaret, Barbara, Lauren and myself. I have many memories of your family visits with our family, and of the many meals and holiday celebrations. I know that Mom and Dad regarded you, Ish and your children as part of our family.

Some say "Never leave a good neighbourhood". Your parents, my parents....most parents, never left the neighbourhood after all these years. It is STILL a great neighbourhood. My family is so sorry for the unfortunate loss of your father. A loved one is a treasure of the heart, and to lose a loved one is like losing a piece of yourself.
