Death notice for the town of: Kitchener, Province: Ontario
I am sooo saddened by your Fathers death
Elli, Don’t know how I came to notice it but I did. I really liked your Dad .He was soo good with people and always welcoming them no matter who they were. A wonderful Christian and servent of God. I did meet your Father a few times and really liked him. This was many, many years ago. So easy to talk to him . I know it was 2 years ago of his passing and I hope you and ur husband had the chance to be with him in the last hours.
I know missing him will be tough for u but he is definitely in Heaven and waiting to see u again. Praise God . My Father passed away also in February 2018 ,he was 98 years young.
It’s been a tough 2 years. He lived in long care also. One afternoon I received a call from my Mother at work saying to me the family had to get together because he wasn’t going to make it.
I have never prayed soo hard that on my way there he wouldn’t die, I just wanted soo bad to be with him when he passed and I did ,holding his hand in mine until he took his last breathe
and I’m sure it was likewise with u and ur Dad.
Good news we will see our loved ones in Heaven. Can’t wait
Hi Sam!!! (Elli)
