Messages of Condolence


I met Garry when I was 17 and he was driving taxi. We were friends for many many years. Then I moved away from Regina for work. Upon my hubby's passing, I moved back. I was saddened to learn of Garry's passing. I would like to extend my condolences to his family and friends. We will always have that one thing. Love for a wonderful man.  ~ Valeria
