All five of my children, Anne, David, Sheila. Alex and Bill attended Kensal Park School during the years 1948 to 1970. They remember Mr. Lundy with affection and respect, as do I. We all send our deepest sympathy to the family.
My deepest prayers are extended to the Lundy family with the passing of Howard. Howard and Rena touched my life in such a very touching and encouraging way and have been a light in my journey with Jesus. They loved me very much and will always remember the fabulous meals made by Rena. Howard was kind and thoughtful especially with the passing of my beloved father Lyle five years ago on October 28, 2009 and spoke at his memorial service. May God heal this family with this lost and thank you very much for being my friend and guide. Most Sincerely Bethany with LOVE

RIP Mr Lundy, you were such a wonderful teacher and principal.
Dear Joel and family, May the God of all comfort fill you with His peace. In sincere sympathy we extend our condolences.
I so fondly remember the Lundys when they took me in for a short spell when I was going through a terrible time in my life. John and I had some great talks as Rena scooted around taking care of me and making those wonderful meals. You were a God send to me and I often reflect upon that time with you as I believe it played a great part in my healing and your words of wisdom remain in my heart.........God be with your family as this time.
Remember Mr Lumley fondly as my Principal at Kensal Park school. Garth Newton
