Elizabeth introduced us to her William over 12 years ago before they were married, though engaged, and we were immediately impressed with this fine man.
William was a sincere and devoted Christian with a strong and vibrant faith. We were delighted with his many qualities including his sense of humour, his ability to converse easily on a variety of topics, his sincerity, generosity, graciousness, willingness to listen, thoughtfulness, and his care and concern for all of his family.
When we spent a delightful few days in Calgary as their guests we were treated royally. Their hospitality, accommodations, and tour guide services were exemplary. Our visits by email, text, telephone and in person were always memorable as we seemed to connect immediately. We did not require idle chit chat to warm up.
We saw some of William's pain when they were our guests here for Elizabeth's sister's funeral this past January. As he was physically struggling already at that time, we were especially grateful for his determination to be with us. We so much appreciated our time with them.
We grieve with you Elizabeth, and William's family. Our involvement with Elizabeth and William was as friends and William often expressed his love for his family in our conversations. We pray God will give you all strength and comfort as your grieve the earthly passing of this very fine gentleman.
John & Helen Cornies. (Kitchener, Ontario.)
