So sorry to hear about Gig’s passing. He was a terrific and extremely professional colleague at work but most of all I cherished his warm personality and friendship.
Lesley,
No words can express the sorrow we feel
for you and your family. Please know you are in our thoughts.

Lesley. I am so saddened to read of not only the loss of your father in law…but of your dear husband as well. I did your wedding flowers many years ago…24 in fact. I remember what a beautiful bride you were and how proud your Dad John was. Please except my heartfelt sympathy at this difficult time. Sarah Watkin formerly of Morrison Flowers.

No one can understand the reasoning of such tragedy but solace can be found by finding your inner strength, not in resistance but in letting go to God. This is where true courage comes in and you have an abundance of courage Leslie, you will get through this.
OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU.

We are both so sorry that the world has lost Gary. Gig was a friend too both of us at the London Free Press. He will be sadly missed as a friend, a co-worker, and a great man. Our thoughts and blessings go out to his family.
God Bless.
I can’t say how shocked and sad we were to hear about Gig. I just wanted to tell you that my memories of him were of a tall, strong man with a great laugh and I still see and hear that in my mind’s eye when I think of him. Oh yes, and of that big black, COOL car he had in high school!
We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts are with you.
