I want to wish Aunt Beth, Aunt Mary and Uncle Alton, Uncle Carmen and their families my deepest sympathy on Uncle Lyle’s passing.
Praying you’ll have the peace of God, the comfort of His Spirit, the hope of His promises and the joy of your memories now and always.
Dear Beth:
I worked with you and got to know you and Lyle when we worked together at the Canadian Citizenship Court. I wish to express my deepest sympathy. I think of the gang at the Citizenship Court often and was sorry to read about Lyle’s passing. Take care of yourself.

Beth,
This morning, I read of Lyle’s death. My sympathy and my prayers are with you on Wednesday. However, since Anne and I are in Tobermory, I cannot be present with you.
Memories as far back as Saint Barnabas in 1957/58 remain special to me. I pray Lyle rests in peace and that you will continue to be comforted by God’s presence.
