I'm a believer in letting people know when
they've done a good job. So Wayne, you did a Fabulous job for Ray Ozols.
It was so good, that a friend who was sitting beside me asked if you
were a best friend of Ray, to which I replied, "no he's the Minister". I
just wanted to say that many, many people commented on what a great job
you had done. Also someone said, "normally you can't wait until it's
over, but you left them wanting more. Again, great job!
Just wanted to say how lovely the service was. My entire
family was so pleased with the way you handled a very emotional day. You
kept reminding us how beautiful Mother's life was and what a valuable
person she was to all who knew her. We really appreciated your words and
wanted to thank you.

awesome , so Thank you .
Thank you once again for your inspirational
words.

May I say once again how
beautifully you conducted Mom’s farewell. I couldn’t have hoped for
anything more.You touched many hearts that day including mine. Please
know that you have made a difference.
Kindest regards,Rae and Family
We want the THANK YOU for such a wonderful service. We think
it sure opened some people's eyes as to what a Memorial service could
be, and perhaps even should be! We had so many comments about you after…
who are you and where did we find you! We're sad you were not able to
join us at the reception.
I wrote my heart out in that tribute to my
Mother, and you made her story come to life. I'd never have gotten
through it without crying, and your storytelling abilities created such
a wonderful atmosphere. There was some sadness, some laughing, but
overall you were able to bring to life my memories and create a happy
calm with dealing with the loss of my Mother.
We loved how you
still made us part of what was going on without us having to face the
emotions, panic and fears of being in front of people to tell the story
ourselves.
And most importantly, I know our Mother was smiling
down on us, perhaps with some disbelief that we actually remembered to
include Stray Cat Strut, and was DANCING!
Our only regret of the
day… that this fabulous service was not recorded so we could listen over
and over and over again.
Gratefully,
Sherry & Rob

My name is Susan Brown. You officiated at my
father’s funeral on Friday Sept. 13th at the Marlatt Funeral Home in
Dundas.
On behalf of my mother Maggie, my family and our
relatives, I sincerely thank you for your kind words, prayers and the
“up beat” tone you set during the memorial. Many people commented on how
personable you were and how you held their attention. You made us laugh
at a time when we thought laughter would never be possible. My father
would have appreciated it as he was a very jovial person, always
singing, humming or whistling. It gave us comfort at a time when it was
much needed.
So thank you Wayne, it was a pleasure to meet you
and your kindness shown will be remembered.
Susan Brown & family.
I attended Yvonne's service this morning and was
so touched by how you led the service. It was absolutely beautiful and
personal. You added the perfect amount of levity and Biblical comfort
making it so personal to her life and the memories we share of her.
Thank you for the gift of that today.
Sincerely,
Heather

On behalf of the Lockwood family we would
like to thank you once again for the wonderful service you gave in
honour of our brother, August 17th. Your words comforted each and every
one of us in a very special way. Thank you from the bottom of our
hearts.
Kathe and Larry Lockwood on behalf of the Lockwood Family
I regret that I was not able to speak with you after
the funeral of my mother, Vera Wolkowski. I would like to thank you on
behalf of my family for the wonderful
words that you spoke. The
manner in which you incorporated our memories in with prayer and
scripture was very comforting. You have a true gift.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Cathy Smith
First and foremost I would like to
thank-you for a wonderful ceremony on Tuesday, April 30th at Ratz and
Bechtel Funeral Home. Chuck would have been not only smiling but
laughing from above.
I loved how you started the ceremony with an
update on the weather and if it was a good day for flying. Gerry's
eulogy was certainly unique and you "fed" off him and so many people
assumed you had known us for years. It is too bad you are not affiliated
with a church in the area because I would start attending (along with
half of our friend's).
We never, ever expected the turnout we had
(obviously or we would have rented a larger venue) but Chuck did touch
many lives and was well loved. I apologize for not be able to find the
time to talk to you after the ceremony and many people wanted to meet
you.
What can I say except THANKS! Your contact information is
being sent to many friends and family and if the kids ever get married I
will be contacting you. Thanks for making a hard day just a bit easier
Just a short thank you note for Jim’s
memorial service.
Both my brother and sister felt like you did an
excellent job, especially with the little information you had to work
with.
But you really touched on the essence of what my father was
about.
The feedback from the other family members at our luncheon was
also very positive.
Once again thank you.
Regards
Brent
