Helen Keller wrote something – that you might find comforting:
“What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us.”
Tena and Family, My deepest condolences for your loss…my thoughts are with you all.
The whole Janzen family wish to express our condolences to the Van Rys family on the loss of your father/grandfather. I will never forget his smile that he would have everytime I would see him even though sometimes it looked like a sly smile and it made me think that he knew something I didn’t. He was a great man and know that we are here for the whole family and our thoughts and prayers are with you in this hard time.
Rod, Jason, Trevor, Sonja, Sara and Rachel
