In Loving Memory of a Remarkable Gentleman with the Biggest Smile and Warmest of Hearts. 

 

Today, we bid farewell to one of the most extraordinary clients we have ever had the privilege of caring for. He was a kind, beautiful soul who, despite the challenges he faced in his later years, including the profound loss of his beloved wife, he never complained, always greeted us with the warmest smile. His strength, grace, and kindness were truly inspiring, he touched the hearts of everyone on our team.  

 

He was more than just a client, he became a cherished part of the Sarnia Carers family. Each visit with him was filled with warmth and kindness, and he never let us leave without sharing a slice of cake lovingly made by his lovely daughter, Jane, along with a cup of tea that he insisted making for us. He was so proud of his family and his grandchildren, and his joy in speaking about them was testament to the deep love he held for them.  

 

We feel so fortunate to have been a part of his journey. His humour, compassion, and gentle spirit left an indelible mark on all of us, and we are deeply grateful for the memories we shared with him.  

 

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to his lovely family for allowing us to share this treasured memory. It perfectly captures the warmth and joy he brought into the lives of everyone around him. 

 

To his family, we want you to know how much we are thinking of you and how much we adored him. He brought light into our lives and created memories that we will forever hold close to our hearts.  It's staff to say that finding cover for Derek's care was nevder difficult as he was such a joy to be with.

 

We want to say a HUGE thank you to Jane and her family for taking the time to show our girls such kindness by baking your lovely cakes for them and for your gratitude. We hold you in our hearts today especially and we thank you for evrything you have done to show our team just how special they are and what a real difference they make. You guys are the very reason we all love our job so much.

 

Rest peacefully, dear friend. You are reunited with your beloved wife now, and your legacy of kindness and love will live on in all of us.
