Love Lives On
The Gift of love lasts forever. It cannot wear out or grow old. It cannot be taken from us.
The Gift of love lasts far longer than sorrow, which is a shadow that will, in time, pass like a cloud.
The Gift of love is the true inheritance of our hearts. We carry it with us every day, and we pass it on just as it was given to us.
May that Gift of love give you comfort and feelings of peace with each day that passes.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your hour of need, please know that your Delta Family cares.
With Deepest Sympathy

I was so sad to hear about the passing of your husband and father. I am on business trip in northern Alberta or I would stop by and say hello. I know how difficult this time must be for your family. May God grant you much comfort during this time and the difficult days ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. From your old neighbor friend up on Robinson / Rowena.
