My deepest sympathy to Shane, Nancy, Darrin, Bryce and your families,
We are very sorry to hear about your loss and our hearts go out to you. I have fond memories of your Dad at Sandy Lake. You are all such a wonderful tribute to his memory and he will certainly live on through you and his grandchildren. May these memories bring you comfort one day. Thinking of you,

I want to share a prayer with you that gave me some comfort when my grandparents passed away.
First Nation Prayer
I give you this one thought to keep—
I am with you still—I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quite birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone—
I am with you still—in each new dawn.
