Condolences

Werner, Rosemary Family & Friends. So sorry for your loss. Its sad to lose someone in death. What helped me the most was prayers and faith in God’s promise at Psalm 34:18 “God is close to the broken heart: he saves those who are crushed in spirit.” For more free comforting scriptures, please visit: http://bit.ly/1K38EFt. God’s Kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for will bring about these wonderful promises. My prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Rosemary, Werner and Families, my deepest Sympathy to the loss of your Mother. Your mother and father were the nicest, loving people I know. I enjoyed the warm welcome at your parents house when I visited them. I am very sad that I cann\\'t see Grete anymore, when I shall come to Canada. I miss her. She and your father were very special people. Ganz liebenswerte Menschen mit dem Herzen auf dem richtigen Fleck. May the good Lord be with you. Sincerly Dorothea and Family

Rosemary, my condolences to you, your brother et al. I remember lip syncing with Margaret Magee at your house while at St. Mary's. Your parents were lovely, generous, warm people, especially your mom! I cannot make it to see you in person as I now live just outside Bobcaygeon but my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours!

Dear Werner, Maxine, Katie, Cory, Lisa, Jeremy, (Avery & Parker) and Adam, We were saddened to read of your Mom, Grandmother and Great-mother's passing. She was a wonderful lady and like Norbert very, very special people that we had the pleasure of coming into our life. I always got a special squeeze or handshake from them at Mass when they sat behind me at St. Mary's (lefthand side -third row back) and we exchanged "Peace be with you". On Saturday 23rd at 10:30, although we cannot be there person, you all will be in our thoughts and prayers and I will send a Mass card to you Werner & Maxine from my Holy Rosary Church here in Belleville via mail. Take care Paula and Bruce Ghent, Belleville.
