My dear Denise my thoughts are with you. Sending you love during this devastating time.
Denise, one of our greatest nightmares as mothers is losing a child. Maurice’s and my heart goes out to you and your family.
I know that Ray is holding him tight and now it is his turn to care for John. All our love.
I was so very sorry to hear about John’s passing. Please accept my deepest condolences during this incredibly difficult time.
I had the privilege of knowing John when we worked together at Sobeys as teenagers, and we spent a lot of time together back then. Some of my favourite memories are going to Blue Jays games with him and just sharing those simple, fun moments of growing up. He was someone I genuinely enjoyed being around, and I will always be grateful for the time and memories we shared.
John made a lasting impression on my life, and I know he did the same for so many others. He will be deeply missed, but always remembered.
My thoughts are with you and your family, and I hope you can find comfort in the many memories and in the love surrounding you.
With sincere sympathy,
Our hearts goes out to you and your family, our prayers will be to let you think of all the good memories, God bless you Denise.
No words can express our deep sadness on your loss.
Our deepest condolences to the Lambert Family.
I worked with John for a few years and he was like a litlle brother to me. We spoke about some of hos issues and I tried to just listen and give advice when he asked for it. He was a good guy and thought he was funny! He was some times!! My son has very fond memories of just sitting down and John just treating him like a normal person and talking to him about everyday life and video games. He still remembers when we helped him and Sara move one year and he saw all these coins on the ground in the old apt. My son started collecting them and jokingly told John that they were his fee for helping, John gave them too him and said he had earned them. My son was so excited. We are both glad to be able to sau we knew John and will miss him.
Sincere condolences Denise, from me and all your family in Southport, Tony xx
