David, our deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Dave; I saw your email last night but put off opening it ‘til this morning expecting to read your annual Christmas greeting to our fellow Scotiabankers … instead this. Your loss is never wanted nor good, but it’s especially so at this time of year. Just know that your family and friends will somehow help you through the sorrow. Although we all say it, none of us can fully know your anguish, but we can provide moral comfort. You’ve always been a guiding light to so many at the office, and I dare say your family and community; so, I know you’ll get through this as positively as possible.
Dear David, John, Christina, and all the grandkids. We are so sorry to hear of Rae’s passing. She was a special person, loved by all. Hold all your memories of happier times dear.

Dear Dave and family, I am deeply saddened to learn of Rae’s passing. Rae was special. She brought so much light into every room she entered. Her infectious smile, her unwavering work ethic, and the genuine respect she showed to everyone around her made her truly one of a kind. She had a remarkable gift for seeing the good in others, even in difficult moments, and she never allowed tough times to dim her kind and generous spirit.
Working alongside her was a privilege, and I’ll always be grateful for the positivity and grace she shared so freely. She made our workplace better simply by being herself.
Please know that my thoughts are with you and with everyone who loved her. Her impact will be felt for a long time, and her memory will continue to inspire us.
