Dear Vivienne, Malcolm, Michelle, Mervyn, and family:

“I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.
and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.”

~ John 11:25,26

We pray that God will comfort your hearts and fill your souls with love and peace.

We pray that God will guide you each step of the way in your time of grief and sorrow.

No words can help ease your grief but do accept our sincere sympathies and condolences on the new life for Anthony Fonseca now has with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in Heaven.

Eternal rest grant unto Anthony, O Lord,
And may perpetual light shine upon him.
And may the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God,
rest in peace.
Amen.

Dearest Vivienne, Malcolm, Michelle & Mervyn & family:

Thinking of all of you through this difficult time and praying for comfort, courage and peace . Our families were close in Mombasa and even though we didn't live close by in Toronto, we have still managed to stay in touch. Vivienne, it's such a blessing that you and Tony got to celebrate your 50th Anniversary recently.

We pray that the beautiful memories will help to heal the pain of loosing your loving husband and doting father and that you will be surrounded by love and support from the community.

Eternal rest grant unto Tony O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. Rest in peace.

In sorrow,
John & Lorraine Joseph
