Dearest Sue, Rob, Stefan and extended families,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your mom (Barb). She was an incredibly warm and caring lady who always had a smile for everyone and something positive to share. Her joy was contagious and her love of life and family was apparent to all who had the honour to meet and get to know her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, as you go through this valley of the shadow of death.

May God's love surround you, may His spirit of comfort and peace envelop you, and may His hedge of protection keep you safe during this time of mourning. For though the sorrow may last through the night, His joy comes in the morning!

Our comfort is in knowing that she is at home with our Lord. May she rest in peace.

With love always,
Claudia, Russell, Robert & Lisette xoxo
