John and Audrey Williams We have many happy memories of times of fellowship with Doug, Sylvia and Family at Lambrick Park Church, back in the 70’s. May God bless you all as you go through these days of sadness. Take heart in knowing that your loved ones are “safe home” with the Lord. They served Him so faithfully. Sorry we are unable to attend on Saturday, May 12. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Christian love,
John & Audrey.

June Dagnall June, Chris, Krista, Scott and Craig offer our sincerest condolences to all of you on the passing of your mom Sylvia. We shall never forget Sylvia’s gracious and open heart to all. There was not a single occasion when we were invited over for dinner, that the table was not set for 15 plus people! She was such a giving and thoughtful lady. We shall truly miss her xoxox
How fast time passes! Memories of outings with all our kids (Louise, Craig, David, Jennifer, Duncan, Andrew, Margaret and Robert) in tow are still fresh. People would stop and stare at what looked like a Sunday school outing. But what fun we all had. “Uncle Doug” and “Uncle Dennis” paddling a canoe filled with kids on the Lake of Bays. “Auntie Sylvia” and “Auntie Muriel” preparing a sumptuous spread at a picnic on the Toronto Islands. Much laughter and good times.
Now Sylvia is reunited with Doug and enjoys the blazing presence of the Lord they loved and served so well. Our thanks and prayers are with you all.
