A year since we heard your voice, since you made us laugh until we cried (you were good at that) A year since we've seen you smile or raise your eyebrow and give `the look' to make us smile A year since we've enjoyed a quiet time with you, shared a meal, watched a movie A year since we've gone for a walk or enjoyed a scenic drive in the country with you A year since we've listened to our favourite music in big comfy chairs A year since we've got to talk to you, or hug you. A year since we've sat with you in comfortable silence reading, just enjoying quiet companionship. A year since we've got to tell you we love you, and hear your reply. Thank you for being in our lives, thank you for being such a wonderful friend, grandfather, father, and husband. God blessed us by letting us share your life. You are forever and always in our hearts. You will be remembered always by your loving wife Lise, children Joel (Lara), Shari (Randy), Kathy (Peter) and grandchildren Joel III, Ryan, Marty, Stefanie, Megan and Peter- Joel.

"Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards!" Some people awaken us to new adventures and an understanding within, which allows our soul's to dance as they pass on their wisdom through a mere whisper. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon, as they stay in our lives for a short time or a lifetime. Some people leave footprints in our hearts and for that we are never the same. I have had the great privilege to know and love this man so many referred to as Dr. Jeff. If there is one thing I have learned, is that our journey at the end of our physical life is not a lonely path into the spiritual world, but rather it is an incredible reunion with those we have loved and lost. Jeff touched so many lives during his short time here on earth; he was a healer, a friend, a husband, a son, a brother and a father. He will never be too far away for he is always with us, in our memories and in our hearts and he will continue to be a powerful healer not only in our physical world, but in our spiritual world. Just listen to your heart and you will hear him; open your heart and you will feel him. It is a reminder that God does exist and birth is his miracle that carries us into life and it's his miracle that carries us through the transition to the spiritual world. One day I will be re-united with my beloved Jeff and my son Christian. Until then thank you my love for all the strength you are giving me to carry on with LOVE, PASSION and COMPASSION here in this physical world on earth, until we meet again! "Life is no "brief candle" to me. It is a sort of a splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment And I want to make it burn as brightly as possible" LINDSAY, Donald Ewart December 19, 1930 - March 8, 2013 Our beloved Uncle Don passed away peacefully at the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, after a two month illness.
