Dear Arlene, Shannon, Helen and families,
Sincere sympathy to you girls at this sad time. May cherished memories of your loved one carry you through the days ahead.
We are so sorry for your loss. Delmar was a wonderful person, and I ran into him a few times @ the Canadian Tire mall and we had such a nice visit. He was always thinking of you Girls, your Families and Georgina.
We did not realize he was ill and are so sorry for your loss. God be with you all.
Dear Arlene, Shannon & Helen & families
So sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing – He was such a kind and gentle man and I was happy to get to know him when he came to Extendicare to visit your Mom. He will be missed by many.
My sympathies are with all the Volk family in the passing of Delmar. I thought a lot of your mom and dad as they were such nice people. I remember those first years they were married when I worked with your mom at the hospital and you kids were little gaffers back then. Good memories. Sorry I can’t make the funeral, but my sympathies are with all your family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
My sympathy is with all of you. I’m so sorry for your loss! R.I.P.
