  • I have thought of you these last few days and do understand how you are feeling at this time as I have been through these times as well. No matter what age we are, the loss of a parent leaves us feeling stranded as if we were young children. How fortunate you were to have him for such a long time. I am sure you have many wonderful memories! Take care of each other, Brenda

  • I just wanted to pass on to Paul's family my sympathies. I met Paul while working for Dr. M. Shnider. I always looked forward to Paul's visits! I always had a soft spot in my heart for Paul. I will think of Paul with fondness and a smile. Paul had a great sense of humour, and was a special patient and I am glad I had the opportunity to know him and contribute to his care. Again, my condolences to the family; Janine Clavet.
