Condolences

Condolence From: L. Harper
Condolence: Dear Family,
I'd like to leave you with some comforting words in your time of sorrow. A beautiful promise found in the scriptures gives us so much comfort. "He (God) will actually swallow up death forever, and GOD will certainly wipe the tears from all faces."- Isaiah 25:8. Can you believe that? A day when we will never lose a dear loved one to death ever again, and there is going to be a resurrection! -Acts 24:15. A truly wonderful time ahead. So as you think about these promises may the GOD of comfort embrace you and hold you tight in your time of sorrow. Please except my deepest sympathy.

Condolence: Dear Marilyn, Dan and Family -
That had to be the "coolest" obituary I have ever seen. Your Father (who of course Harvey knew, not me unfortunately) must have been one special man. Our hearts go out to you during this dreadful time, 2 losses in one week.
Wishing you all courage to get through the present sad period, and may your Father's memory be a blessing. Sounds like it really will be...
Sincerely, Harvey and Judith

Condolence: It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.

We feel blessed to have known and loved Milton for the past number of years. May we continue to be blessed with memories of his wit and wisdom for years to come. We became friends, by chance, as we lived in the same condominium building and offered to drive seniors to their appointments as a retirement past-time. Milton was the first to take us up on the offer. Milton captivated us with his stories of growing up in Ottawa and with his business and other ventures and adventures of which he had many over the span of 99 years. It is hard to imagine living through so many different times –war years, depression years, boom years - not to mention the changing fashion styles, which as a Rideau Street men’s and ladies wear store owner of some renown he needed to be ahead of the crowd and the competition. It is harder still to imagine being a fashion store owner with a wife and three daughters. We have no doubt that Sarah, who by his words was a beautiful woman of exquisite taste, and his girls, who probably hit their early style-conscious years in those heady 50’s and 60’s, imparted their views on what should appear in the storefront and more importantly what they should be wearing. With the grace and good looks of their mother, Ingrid, Marilyn and Wendy were undoubtedly the envy of their school mates when they were the first to don the latest fashions. What perfect advertising.
Milton also regaled us with stories of his world travels with Sarah and how he felt so fortunate to have been able to make so many trips together while they enjoyed good health.
They say that when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. We will cherish our memories of Milton. May gentle breezes carry the soul of our ancient mariner.
