Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

  • Dad, thank you for being so loving, caring and giving. Such an amazing smile and personality to match. Thank you for teaching me so much and giving me the freedom to be me. I will miss seeing you cutting the grass, throwing horse shoes and doing a little jig. All the stories and laughs at the lake. But most of all giving you a hug and saying I love you. A true Stony Point legend. May you walk the shores of Lake Winnipeg forever. Farewell frozen eyes. Whenever you visit Patricia Beach give Chester a thought and a few kind words, skip a rock into the water, he will appreciate it. Love you all - Posted by: Perry Clark (Son) on: May 29, 2014

Thank you for sharing your love of the lake with me and my kids, the stories, songs, and memories we've shared over the years will remain with us forever. The beach won't be the same without you, but we shall continue to watch over it,and treat it with the respect and love you have shown it throughout your time there.
