• Please accept my deepest condolences for Art's passing. I remember him well from our days of working together at R.B. Russell Vocational High School. Art was a kind, compassionate and multi-skilled individual person with a ready smile and a good sense of humour. I wish you the comfort of family and close friends to help you IN your loss. Rest in Peace Art. - Posted by: Erika Uustalu-Nicholson (friend and former colleague) on: Jan 19, 2014

• Death Is Nothing At All (An Irish blessing) Death is nothing at all I have only slipped away into the next room I am I and you are you Whatever we were to each other That we are still Call me by my own familiar name Speak to me in the easy way you always used Put no difference into your tone Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow Laugh as we always laughed At the little jokes we always enjoyed together Play, smile, think of me, pray for me Let my name be ever the household word that it always was Let it be spoken without effort Without the ghost of a shadow in it Life means all that it ever was There is absolute unbroken continuity What is death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind Because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you for an interval Somewhere very near Just around the corner All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost One brief moment and all will be as it was before How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

• Dear Dad, As much as I want you here with us, I know you are in a better place. The suffering is over now. Rest in peace knowing that we all love you and miss you dearly. You are in my heart forever. Your spirit lives on in each of us. Your loving daughter, Donna - Posted by: Donna Friesen (daughter) on: Dec 22, 2013
