Condolences & Memories (21 entries)

  • Happy Birthday Jerome. You would have been 36 today. We all miss you!! - Posted by: William Bish (Friend ) on: Nov 05, 2015

  • My sincerest condolences to the family of Jerome. I just learned of his passing today as we lost touch after I moved to Korea in 2010. I met Jerome upon my moving to Montreal for school. When I met him he was working at Starbucks and his smile and friendliness set him apart from his colleagues. Something was different about Jerome. We quickly became friends and it was then I learned that we both shared a strong Christian upbrining and maybe that was why I was drawn to him. Although we had fallen out of touch in the last few years he had crossed my mind numerous times and he will surely be missed. It saddens me that I cannot catch up with him now that I am back in Canada, but I know one day I will see him again when my time on earth is done. I miss you my friend! - Posted by: Gavin Canning (Friend (Montreal)) on: Feb 02, 2014

  • My deepest condolences to the Williams family. I just learned about this tragic news today. Jerome rented a unit from me in Montreal before he moved to France. I remember an extremely kind and polite gentleman always greeting me with a smile. The last time we saw each other I remember thinking how happy he looked moving to a new country and with the prospect of new adventures. May he Rest in Peace - Posted by: Richard (Landlord (and friend)) on: Aug 19, 2013

  • Mr. and Ms. Williams and Ruth, my deepest and sincerest condolences to you all. I knew Jerome from his days in Montreal and we remained in touch throughout the years.

My prayers are with you. - Posted by: William Bish (Friend) on: Jun 17, 2013

  • Dear Mr and Mrs. Williams, Ruth and Scott, my heart breaks with this difficult news. Jerome was such a kind person who had such an amazing smile. I'll never forget one of the youth rally's many many years ago at the church school where I had made the decision to attend alone and not having a lot of friends there that I was close to. I was feeling very shy and very alone and he was the only one who made an effort and talk to me and make me feel like I fit in. He never knew how much he touched my heart that day. And just this last visit he made a point to come over to me, give me a hug, and meet my girls. Jesus is coming soon! We need to keep the faith! Stay strong in Christ.... You all are in my prayers - Posted by: Lori, Akira and Jaelah Forteau (Family friend) on: Oct 04, 2012

  • Please accept condolences on behalf of my family to yours regarding the passing of Jerome. He was always kind, supportive and respectful to all he met. His laughter and thoughtfulness will always be remembered. - Posted by: Faith (Friend of family) on: Oct 03, 2012

  • Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Ruth and Scott, Please accept our deepest condolences, Jerome will be extremely missed. We were certainly shocked with the news of his passing and our hearts go out to you at such a difficult time. We cannot say that we understand this kind of hurt, but I know Someone who has carried us over rough and rocky roads, so all We want to say is keep holding on to Jesus, He is holding on to you. We pray that y’all hold on to the sweet memories you have of Jerome, his smile, that strong deep laugh, the way he opened his mouth and held his stomach and bent over when he did that crazy belly laugh when you told him a “good one” type of joke. That voice when he sang could move mountains while yet still, his singing could put a baby to sleep in his arms. Be proud of who Jerome was, the lives that were blessed by him, the lives that he changed with his many accomplishments, how he represented God in all that he did. As you mourn, know that your Heavenly Father understands your pain of losing a loved one. Know that God is surrounding you with His arms of love, He will be the rock you stand on, the One you lean on when you feel weak, the One whom you can turn to on those days it hurts the most. Know that you have the love and support of your church family and family all around the world. If you need us, reach out and we will be there to help, to listen, to hold you close to encourage you to look toward that sweet day when our Lord returns in the clouds of glory to take us home. One sweet day, we will see our Jerome and he’ll smile and say “Well it’s about time…let’s go!!” - Posted by: Joni & Nia Phuti & Michael & Patricia Forteau (Family Friend/Brother & Sisters-in-Christ) on: Oct 03, 2012
