Our deepest sympathy to the Penhale and Gilfillan families on the passing of Brion. Treasure all your special memories and you will have many. You are in our thoughts.

Dear Family,
My very deepest sympathy I share as no other words could ever embrace the tragedy of losing a loved one far too soon through our lives. It is felt more deeply at this time of year when we should be celebrating, not mourning. He was a great neighbour, as was Mark, while we briefly resided in Elimville. He will be sadly missed but has blessed so many with wonderful memories during his short life. My condolences….

Sherry and family ,
Our sincere sympathy at this difficult time. Our thoughts are with you.

My deepest condolences. When Brion smiled-we all smiled!

Claire and Winona Hoffman,

Dear Sherry, Austin and Family,

Our heartfelt sympathies towards the sudden passing of Brion. Michelle and I just heard from a friend that felt we should know and we were instantly overwhelmed with both shock and sorrow. Brion always took the time to share a kind word or two with his friends. This past summer was no different as I had the pleasure to visit with Brion at your class reunion. His love and pride towards both you Sherry and Austin came through so clearly as he shared in reflection within updating me after many years without seeing him. Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time and beyond as Brion will be very sadly missed but lovingly remembered by all.

Dear Gilfillan and Penhale families

Dear Sherry and Austin and Gilfillan and Penhale Families
Ken and I are so very sorry about Brion’s passing. Ken looked forward every Tuesday to play golf with Smi. Brion had such a love for the game and their foursome shared a lot of laughs through the years. Take care Sherry and remember all your good times with Brion. He was one great guy. Thinking of you.

I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to Brion’s family. There’s such a sense of helplessness when someone we love dies. I’d like to share some scriptural thoughts that really helps me. Prayer is so valuable at this time but it’s not that prayer simply makes us feel better. 2 Cor.4:7 says that God can give us, “… power beyond what is normal “, to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that we no longer cry or that we forget, but it means we recover. The reason we recover is because of our hope. Jesus Christ talked about our hope in John 5:28, “… all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out “. Jesus was referring to the resurrection; this is our hope that helps us recover and gives us power to go on. 2 Cor.1:3 describes our Creator as, “… the God of all comfort “. One way that God comforts us is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear. May the God of comfort (Ps. 83:18) be your comfort now during this time of sorrow.

Sherry and Austin and family.
We are so sad to hear this news. Please know that we are thinking of you a lot. Please keep chatting about the awesome memories. Xo
Julie, Dan, Marilyn and Joe Martens and families ❤️❤️

Our condolences on the sudden passing of Brion, he was such a great guy and someone who was really good company on a round of golf. He kept us grounded reminding us we were not really good enough to get mad when the game didn’t go quite so well. Going to miss him so much.
