Dear Vel and Family Only time will ease the pain of your loss but having family and friends with you now to share all the great memories will help you throught this sad time. Thinking of you Arlene and Alan Winter

The twinkle in Mark's eye was never so apparent as the day we sampled the wine at Columbia Gardens Winery in Fruitvale ,BC. I knew he was drinking in much more than the wine. So many wonderful memories of the love and laughter that you shared.... my heart is aching for you all...

Wonderful memories of a great old pal from the past. My center man in hockey,my partner in winning the junior softball championship, you and your family will always be in our thoughts. Take care my friend... the games continue in heaven. Never forgotten, always remembered, your pal, Dave Giles & wife Marsha

Vel, Heather and John, Allison and Ben and families... I am grieving with you. Mark brought many smiles to many faces, he will be missed.

We loved all the opportunities to visit you at the trailer in the last few years! You were such a source of encouragement and support in many ways and we cherish the time we have spent together. We love your bbq cabbage recipe and will make it every summer in celebration of our time with you up north.

We love you and your family dearly, always.

Thank-you for teaching me how to skate and for always coming to my swimming lessons with timbits and chocolate milk. I love you

Vel,Heather,Allison & Families Our deepest sympathy to all of you in this time of sorrow. Mike & Kathy Pollard & Family
