Leave a tribute
to David and Catherine, (Peter and Rosalind) So saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. He was a wonderful example of a human being, and so happy, never hesitating to express his love and respect for your mom (his chosen partner) and you two, of whom he was immensely proud. May God give you strength knowing that Cousin Robert is at peace and free of suffering, safe in God's Hands (and probably enjoying the company of so many of our angels who were called before us). Kindly relate my love and that of my grown children, Ameena, Randa, and Sharaf to your Mom. Lovingly. Judy (Bliss) Sultan
What a wonderful neighbour Bob was ! I spent many times in He and Akyces home for coffee and chats ! Many times he was up on the roof repairing things much to Akyces trepidation ! I have fond memories of Bob and Alyce ! My sincere sympathy to you Favid and Catherine Fondly Marylin
I was saddened by the news of Mr Reed's passing. Robert and Alyce were lifelong dear friends of my late parents,Gordon(1993) and Helen(2018) McLeod. Please extend my heart felt condolences to Alyce. Yours in faith,Kathryn
Dear David and Catherine, It was an honor and pleasure to care for your beloved father, always a cheerful smile and lots of giggles, a true gentleman, encouraging, brave, and always a kind word no matter how he was feeling. I will miss him and never forget him walking me to my car when he could, and holding my hand so tight. Your red maple grows strong and free as your spirit is now free and joining those who have gone before you. Until we meet again our cherished memories are with us all. Cynthia(your Bayshore nurse)
