We send you are best and if you need anything please feel free to let us know. Uncle Jack even though we have not seen you in a while we love you and miss you very much.

Hello, we do not know each other but I am writing to you in regards of the loss of your dear family member, John Gerrard. I would like to send my deepest sympathy. It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love and it can be most difficult to bear.
The Bible, however, holds out a wonderful hope. The Scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunited with your dead loved one in the near future right here on earth – Psalms 37:11. Although this is a time of sadness, I would like to direct you to some encouraging and comforting information that can be shared amongst you and your family. A sample of it is contained in the online brochure “When Someone You Love Dies” found at:

Jack (“JP” as we called him) meant so much to us and especially to our Mom, Beverley, to whom he was a kind and loyal companion.
JP was a gentle spirit, with a dry wit and whacky sense of humour. He loved to play pranks and tell “growners”.
He loved simple things–nothing pleased JP more than mowing the lawn or helping our Mom. But he definitely hated brussels sprouts!
JP, we all loved you very much, you are missed and will be for a long time.
Our condolences to JP’s family and to our Mom.
