Our sincerest condolences to Mary and family on the passing of a loving husband, father and grandfather. We only met Jake and Mary a few times but Connie is our sister-in-law and we send our love. Jake was a lovely person and we enjoyed meeting he and Mary and have them stay with us in Markham. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
I am so sorry Uncle Jake that we never got to have that one last get together.
As always a generation goes without finding out nearly as much as we wish we would have.
To Aunt Mary my sincere sorrow for your loss and best wishes for this new phase in your life. I will always remember fondly the many trips you and Uncle Jake made to to coast and always enjoyed the visits from you guys.
To all my cousins that unfortunately know little or nothing about , most of you I haven’t seen in 60 or more years I am so sorry about your loss. Losing a parent is always a sad and painful time.
Unfortunately I couldn’t make it out to the funeral and so much wish we could have all caught up on all that is happening in our lives.
Wishing you all the best.
My deepest condolences to the Elias family . Your memories of him will give you strength through this difficult time.
Condolences, love, hugs and prayers to Mary and her entire family on the passing of Jake. He has always been a loving husband, father, grandpa and friend. The entire Elias family has been a part of the Marshall family since arriving in Vulcan in 1968. I know that he will live on in each of your hearts and your cherished memories will be with you always.
