Our sympathy to all the family.
Thank you Marilyn and Bill. It has been a very long and difficult year, most especially the last 4 months. Time will dull the pain, but never the memories.
We are very sorry for your loss. Your father was a wonderful man and he will be missed. Hopefully when things get better we will go visit your mom. Please give her our love.
Thank you very much Sam and Roseanne. My father was a very good man and will be missed. I look forward to seeing you in the future
Dearest Susan, Joseph and family: My most sincere condolences on your profound loss. I will forever remember Frank with his warm engaging smile whenever our families visited. May the wonderful memories provide you with solace and strength at this difficult time. My thoughts are with you all.
Thank you Rita for the kind words. He had a wonderful smile and personality. We miss him very much. Thank you for all of your kind phone check-ins over the past year.
Our thoughts, our love and our prayers go out to Susan, and all the family. Frank was a wonderful neighbour and friend. Carol and I will miss him dearly. So many memories over the last few years as we grew to know both Frank and Susan.
Joseph, may God bless you and your family at this difficult time and give you strength to carry on.
Thank you Phil and Carol. My parents are so lucky to have you as their neighbours. The Grafton “gang” are great people.
Dear Joseph, Linda, Susan and Family – I was so sorry to hear of Frank’s passing. He was such a kind man and I will always remember his wonderful smile that would light up his face anytime he greeted me at family gatherings – so welcoming. I know how deeply you will all miss him. May the many wonderful memories you made together bring some comfort in the days ahead.
Sending love and prayers to you all at this most difficult time.
Thank you Janet for the very kind words. He loved family get togethers and the time he could spend with the Boyles.

Sending you the biggest of hugs.
Thank you Olga and Martino. My dad loved to be with family and I agree with you that he had a wonderful smile. Even in the hospital, when he wasn’t sleeping, he always had a smile for the doctors and nurses.
