It seems that loss has been a theme in my life. Christine’s hits deeply. John and Chris have been dear friends since our teenage years. We lived a Melrose Place existance at Lampe Towers in Thornhill, we celebrated each other’s weddings, and celebrated the birth of children. We’ve shared loss as well. I will forever hold Chris in my heart. John I am truly sorry for your loss, you are in my heart.
I have known Christine since we were in grade 10 cooking class. I was very troubled at the time and she stuck with me throughout her life. She was a dear friend whose loss I feel very deeply. I was humbled and honoured to be by your bedside at the time of your passing. We will meet again. Rest easy my friend you deserve this in the very least
We are very sorry to hear of Christine’s passing. Our condolences to you and your family.
The passing of Chris broke my heart. I too, like Katie have had many losses in just a few short weeks, all friends of 40+ years. I also remember fondly those Melrose days!! Chris was my friend going back to grade 7 (1980), My Matron of honor and a dear friend. I find some peace knowing that she is no longer in any kind of pain and can finally rest easy. John, my heart hurts for you and your loss. I pray for you daily, hoping you find the strength to heal in some way. Keep your love of Christine and your memories close to treasure. Denise and Megan, I am so sorry for your loss and to the rest of the Carsona family, my deepest condolences. Rest easy chris .. love Jenn & Bekah xo

First of all, I would like to thank all of my family and friends for their thoughts, prayers and kind words during this difficult time.
