sylvia bedford (sacht) The wind still blows in the Sayward Valley and the time has passedof the big trees and the big men the likes of Wesley Boyd.
I send my sincere condolenses to his remaining family, namely Lea whom I still remember well from my youngest days. Your father lived long years and I’m so sure he wil be missed terribly. Bless his memory. There are few of the elder Sacht family remaining and we’re getting older.
A very old acquaintance, Ms.Sylvia Bedford (Sacht)

Dale and Joyve Melin Joyce and I send you the most sincerest condolances on the passing of Mr. Boyd.
I met him many years ago in Don’s shop and what a fine man.
His sense of humour was second to none and will always be remembered for his great smile. Even in Don’s shop he was the boss and respected by all.

Please accept my condolences on the passing of Uncle Wes. My Dad, Pat Allen and Uncle Wes were great friends, and though it has been many years since my last visit to his home in Victoria.
I have great memories of the family and Uncle Wes during the time spent from Sayward to Victoria.
I know Uncle Wes will be standing tall on guard at the gates of Heaven, ready to welcome us all in…
Godspeed Uncle Wes, you were always my hero.
Love Louise, Gordon and family.
