First we would like to offer our sympathies to Marina and the Carleton family at their time of grief. Gary and I worked with John at General Motors and I also worked with him at ITS. John basically took me under his wing when I started at GM he saw how naive I was coming from a small town and he always was there for me, I called him my Angel. I will always be thankful that he came into our lives. We will miss him dearly and will always cherish the memories we had with him. Gary said to me the other day, he was the classiest man I’ve ever met. We love you John.
Our Prayers and Sympathy go out to Marina and Carlton family.We are so sorry for your loss Sue Dave and Kyle. These will be very hard days ahead for you,but know we,your friends are there for you. We wish you “Peace” “Love” and “Good Memories” to cherish. Love Earl and Tina Miller
Condolence from Michael Parent and family.
Dear: Mrs. Marina Carleton.
We were saddened to hear of the death of your husband John Carleton. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Dear: Sean (wife Kate), Lynn, Kevin, Barry, Scott, Sue and family
I hope that you will accept gentle heartfelt words from family and friends to help you through this time of sorrow at the loss of your father.
Grieving the loss of a precious loved one is so personal and lonely.
Grief’s shadow eventually touches all of us, but esentially the message is one of love. Even if our tears are for ourselves, for our ache of loneliness, for our pain of loss, they are still sacred, for they are tears of love.
It is by living our lives with the memories of our loved ones sheltered safely in our hearts that we honour and cherish them best.
To live in the hearts left behind is not to die.
Because your father lived there is a little more love in this world than there would have been without him.
Dearest: Kelly, Andrew, Patrick and the other grandchildren, of John Carleton.
I know that for all of your lives you have known your Grandpa Carleton and will remember the times he spent with you. I am sure the times he spent with each of you were among his most cherished. Remember not that he died but that he lived.
Be thankful for that breath of life.
Our family wishes to express how tenderly we feel for you in your time of sorrow.
May it comfort you to know that others are thinking of you at this sad time.
Sincerely;
Michael Parent and family.
May God grant us the wisdom to discover the right.
The Will to choose it.
And the strength to make it endure.
