God's Peace Helmi. I am so glad I had the chance to see you both last summer during services, little did we know that they would be Jake's last. Now he is at those eternal services that have a beginning but know no end. I have so many warm memories of the visits I made to your home here in Richmond Hill and there in Outlook. May God give you comfort at this time! With love Eija

Many fond memories rush forward in reflecting the times spent with Uncle Jake and Aunt Helmi. In Toronto they were like parents to me. Uncle Jake has now overcome the battle and gained his victory.
Remembering Aunt Helmi and the family at the time of their loss. Take comfort in the song writer's words as it is written in the Song of Zion,
"Loved ones are gone forever To dwell with Christ, their Saviour; Our hearts with yearning fill - Their memory lingers still.
Soon from this vale of sadness We're called to joy and gladness; With loved ones we will be At home eternally."
With love and God's Peace, Noreen & Kimberly

Our deepest sympathies to the family of Jacob Ylioja. We remember Jake as a dear brother in faith, a faithful watcher on the walls of Zion and the many service occasions where he served with his gifts and enjoyed the services of others together. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." Matt 25:21
With love and God's Peace,
Russell and Sinikka Roiko
