Debbie & Donna ... My deepest condolences to you and your family at the loss of your father. I did not know him well, but I recall fond memories at your home in Regina when I took flute lessons with both of you. Time and people pass, but memories always remain. Virtual Hugs to you both, and if you are in London too, perhaps we can reconnect some day, I live not far from this funeral chapel. Take care of yourselves in this difficult time, you are in my thoughts ♡.

Dear Rosalie. Our thoughts and prayers are with you for the loss of John, your long time partner and friend. John had a big smile and never ran out of jokes that we loved to hear. He will be remembered by all the special times we spent together visiting, playing cards, picking blueberries, and the car trip we took together to Nova Scotia. We are sending you love and strength during this distressing time. Let your tears flow, and may your sorrow be softened with happy memories. We are thinking about you and sending our heartfelt sympathies and condolences to you and your family. With our love and God's Blessing Larry and Iris.

Dear Mrs Prokopchuk, I worked for you at the Kiev Kabob in Regina from 1984-1986. I always knew when Mr Prokopchuk dropped by to see how things were going because there would be laughter coming from the kitchen. He was so very friendly. I am sorry to hear of his death and sincerely hope that you may find comfort in this difficult time.

Our condolences to you and the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, during this day, as we remember the kind gentle man that he was. From playing barbies with the girls, to watering our garden and watching our house when we were away, he was always there. Smiling, nodding and of course loving food. Lots of love. Shawn, Barbara, Ana & Angel.
