Murray and Family,
Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Forever loved and always dear.
Please accept our deepest sympathies.
Sorry we were unable to attend, due to health reasons.

Murray and family: I was saddened to hear of Vi's passing. Vi and I worked together at the bank back in 1977. She was a very caring and wonderful co-worker and friend. We lost contact when I got married a year later but I thought of her often. May the wonderful memories you made as a family help to carry you through this very difficult time.

Our condolences to you Murray and your family. We are so sorry we could not attend Vi's memorial service. We know we will meet again in heaven. I (Lois) always loved her positive outlook & twinkling, smiling eyes. God promises He will "strengthen you and help you. . .will uphold you with His righteous right hand" Isaiah 41

Dear Murry and family,
I was shocked to learn of your wife's passing. Although, I haven't seen you for years, I remember all of your family well. Your dad and my dad were first cousins. It is at times like this that we depend on our God and our friends and relatives. We want you to know that we are sorrowing with you and our thoughts and prayers are with you as well. May God and his infinite mercy and love and family surround you during this difficult time.

To Murray,Cory,Tyler,Clayton Vi possessed a beautiful spirit. She was always so kind,thoughtful,forgiving and loving. Even when she was not feeling well she was always more concerned with how everyone else was doing, everytime I saw her she would always greet me with that cheery smile of hers and a wave of her hand. We will miss her dearly, May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Murray and family,
Our condolences for your loss to you and your family. It seems just yesterday we were rafting in the ditches in Mennon or playing king of the castle on hay bales in Borden. Then quickly marriage, children and so on. Life that seemed so long at the beginning comes much too fast now. May God bless in your time of sorry. Love, Beryl & Betty Berg

Murray and Family, we are so saddened to hear about Vi. 55 is much too young, isn't it?
Our last memory of you and Vi was on the patio of The BeachHouse in Waskesiu, enjoying a drink overlooking the lake on a beautiful summer morning. Hopefully someday those happy memories can bring a smile to you.
There is nothing we can say to make this better, and we can't even say we understand, but please know that we are praying for all of you at this time of grief.

Dear Murray, Boys, and family;
We hope you will receive our condolences in your loss of your wife, mother, and friend. We trust you will lean on the One who is the help in time of need. I am often reminded of the verses in Matt. 11:28-30 where in part we read what the Lord said "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest"(v.28). We will remember you in prayer during this time.
