    Dear Wilson, Paul, Brenda and family,
    So sorry to hear of David’s passing. I can still vividly remember all of us playing together as kids and walking to school with David (when we were young enough for it to still be OK to be seen walking with a girl).
    He will always be a fond part of my childhood memories.
    Lili

    Dear Julie, Derek and Darby, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband/dad, Dave. He was a caring person, whose family meant a lot to him. I remember him bringing you kids to school many times. I know he was proud of you then, and would have been proud of the individuals you have become. He will be missed.

He spoke of his family and children often and know he was so proud of their accomplishments and the individuals they have all become. So many good memories of travelling with Dave accross the countryside in his van for his passion in photographing nature. Dave will truly be missed and we will always have him in our fond memories.

    Les mots me manquent pour soulager votre chagrin et sentiments d’impuissance. Mais je sais que Dieu pourra vous apaiser puisqu’il est le Père des tendres miséricordes et le Dieu de toute consolation. Il a promis de restaurer le Paradis ; alors, les humains auront la possibilité de vivre sans fin, sans problèmes, accidents, maladies, ni même la mort. En plus, Dieu ressuscitera des millions d’êtres chers. (Psaume 37:29 ; Révélation 21:3,4 ; Jean 6 :40.) Jusqu’à ce que ce jour arrive, que notre Seigneur Jésus Christ et Jéhovah Dieu notre Père, consolent vos cœurs et vous affermissent en toute action et parole qui soient bonnes.
