Condolence from Fern Dougall on January 4th, 2018 4:44 PM

Wishing you
Peace to bring comfort.
Courage to face the days ahead and
Loving Memories to forever hold in your heart

Condolence from Rob and Karen Jolly on January 4th, 2018 5:02 PM

Michele & Ann & families …. We so loved listening to Uncle Grant’s wonderful tales of days gone by, his boisterous laugh and to Aunt Ada saying “Oh, Grant!”. They were, to us, an amazing example of how a marriage should be. They very obviously adored each other. We will miss them so much but find comfort in knowing that they are most definitely with the Lord. We can just imagine them sitting at a dinner table with Jesus, regaling Him with stories. Praying that God’s love will heal your sorrow, and His peace replace your heartache with warm and loving memories.

Condolence from Luanne van Woerkens on January 4th, 2018 5:05 PM

Dear Ann,
Heartfelt sympathy for you, Michelle and families. Ada and Grant were very special people and parents. They are remembered fondly by me for their hospitality and warmth. Love Luanne

Condolence from Harold Triebner on January 4th, 2018 5:09 PM

Michelle, Anne and families, there are no words to express such a sudden great loss. We know that they are truly at peace but will be so very much missed. We will continue to pray for you all. Harold and Louann Triebner

Condolence from Larry & Diane Prouty on January 4th, 2018 5:55 PM

We were disheartened and saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Grant and Ada. We remember so many happy times when we used to drop by their home for a visit, with Mom and Dad Prouty. There would be much laughter, and kidding all around. We have so many wonderful memories of them, and the kindness that they exemplified!

Surely though, the Triebner family is front and centre in our prayers. We pray for our Savior’s love to surround you, and may He gently rock you in His loving arms.

Now we cling to the precious promise found in I Corinthians 5:1
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

We are so thankful for the hope that we have in Christ, that someday we will be reunited with our loved ones once again.

Condolence from Tracey Stanlake on January 4th, 2018 6:16 PM

Michelle and Ann, and families, no words can appropriately express my heartfelt condolences for the tragic loss of your parents. I will always remember them fondly for the love they shared, their faith in the Lord and their undying love of their children. It was and always will be my honor to have had them as neighbors and friends.

Tracey Stanlake

Condolence from Paula Leslie on January 4th, 2018 6:18 PM

Dear Ann (and family),
When I saw the Triebner name in the newspaper, I hoped that it wasn’t your parents, but alas it was. I think of you and fondly remember our days working at UH as “chesties”. Your parents were a love story. I am so sorry that you had to lose them both at once. Sending love and condolences your way.
Paula Leslie

Condolence from Gail & Ed Moorhead on January 4th, 2018 6:54 PM

Your sudden loss of Grant and Ada is heartbreaking, and you have my deepest sympathies. Grant was my bus driver for years, and he was a kind man with a great sense of humour.

Condolence from Jonathan Roberts on January 5th, 2018 12:11 PM

To the Triebner Family … I am so sorry for you and yet at the same time, happy. I have never met your parents, I do not know you, and I have only been through Exeter once or twice, so the only connection is love. As I sit here at my desk in downtown Toronto, tears are streaming down my cheeks for a couple I never met, who loved and struggled and built a life together. We never met, yet I feel I knew them. Once again, I am so sorry.

Condolence from Barb Brown on January 5th, 2018 12:54 PM

I am so saddened to read this even though I don’t know you. If we have faith we have to believe they are together still. The wife was spared dealing with the death of her dear husband. That was a blessing. As for the family I pray you will have strength and love each other as much as these two loved ones loved.

I sure wish I did know them.. their story has touched many , as it breaks the news media .. sending my love and prayers .. they were together in life, and now they are together in heaven,, so peaceful ..

Condolence from Ron Steenstra on January 5th, 2018 4:53 PM

This writer doesn’t know the Triebner family but notes how it stands out in the press (TV) as a particularly sad story. The writer misses his own deceased parents and feels empathy for the survivors of the family. Sometimes we’d like to get feedback from the other side of press-disseminated news; this little care note from a stranger is one such feedback, a winter bud on the tree in this shared cold snap. May you find strength as life moves on.

Condolence from Corrie on January 5th, 2018 5:45 PM

Love and prayers with you today. Aunt Ada and Uncle Grant were such lovely , sweet and kind caring individuals. We mourn with you and yet have the hope that we will see them again. Love and prayers -Corrie

Dear Ann, Michelle and families,

I got to know Grant and Ada over many years. Their obvious love and respect for each other was evident as we chatted about their family, our mutual love of gardening ( the lemon tree) and their rural life together. Grant often asked about our family, too, as he was once their bus driver. Just the nicest people. I am so glad to have known them and so very sorry for your loss. May your faith and memories ease the pain and give you peace.

Sincerely,
Linda Traquair

Condolence from Ethel-Lori Triebner on January 6th, 2018 12:48 AM

Dear Michele, Ann and Families

Uncle Grant and Aunt Ada would be humbled by all the media attention their relationship is recieving. They shared a Love so Beautifully Precious complete strangers sense the measure of Earth’s loss.

I couldn’t have asked God for a better example of unconditional acceptance and grace in my life. I’ll always remember Aunt Ada’s gentle soul and the way Uncle Grant’s laugh danced across my heart.

I wish words healed, that tears could wash away your pain and Heavens gates opened both ways but until that day you see them both again, I wanted to say how much I love you and thank you for sharing their Incredible Light with me.

Condolence from Randy and Vicki on January 6th, 2018 7:21 AM

Condolence from Bev Robinson Hall on January 6th, 2018 2:24 PM

Sorry to here of the passing of a wonderful couple of whom I had the pleasure of knowing. Through ups and downs they did it together. I had the pleasure of working with Ada with the children’s ministry at Exeter Pentecostal Churchin years past. She had such a deep love for each of the young children in her charge.
Although many consider this a tradegy, I am so glad they went together. God knew they needed to be together.

Condolence from Catherine Hooper on January 6th, 2018 4:30 PM

I, like you went through something similar in 1983. Both my parent’s died within a week to the day of each other. Both happened out of the blue. I wasn’t very old. I would like to say I know what you are going through, but I can’t. Soooooo many people said that to me. They had no idea what I was going through! They were not me! I did get through it though. I am an only child. All I had was a dog left back then. His name was Bandit. Ban lived to be 17 yrs! I had very good friend’s also. Not much family support, I am adopted. People asked how I got through it. I said my dog, meaning Bandit. Then you just do what you have to do. You are in a fog. I was. Dog’s are better than most people. I am so sorry for your unexpected loss. Catherine

Condolence from Allan and Carolyn Donnan on January 6th, 2018 4:52 PM

Ann and Michelle – so sorry to hear that your Mom and Dad have passed away. That their love story ends with them not feeling the loss of the other is some comfort for you but I am sure that the loss is even more painful for you and your families now.

I enjoyed my many visits with your parents when I returned to Exeter. The best visits were always in late spring when we would go back together and get some “organic” rhubarb” that I could take home and make a pie using your Moms recipe. No visit was complete without your Dad sitting in that armchair telling stories that left us both laughing followed by your mother saying “Oh Grant!”. They will be missed but have left you with a wonderful legacy of love and faith.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Allan and Carolyn Donnan

Condolence from Bob and Connie Donnan on January 6th, 2018 5:03 PM

Ann and Michelle – it is with deep sadness that we learned of the passing of your Mom and Dad. We recall many fond memories of fellowship with them during our time as their Pastors and continuing to correspond with your Mom for a number of years following our departure from Exeter. We considered them as dear friends. They were loyal and faithful followers of Jesus Christ. Just recently, we viewed a picture of the Triebner siblings singing at a special musical event at EPT of which Grant was a part. Ada was an integral part of the Women’s Ministry Group. Our loss is Heaven’s gain. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your extended families.

Condolence from Carol Hardy on January 6th, 2018 5:38 PM

To the Triebnerfamily ….
We are so very sorry to hear of your loss. My sisters and I remember Ada when she lived at our home while teaching school at SS #5, Mcgillivray before she was married. We all remember her as friendly, kind and interesting to talk with.

Condolence from Elizabeth Jolly on January 6th, 2018 9:48 PM

Dear Michele and Ann;
No words can express the great heartache that I feel with the loss of your Mom and Dad, my Aunt Ada and Uncle Grant, yet I know it cannot compare to your heartache and pain. The photograph captures a hint of Uncle Grant’s mischievous nature in his eyes and smile, and Aunt Ada’s gentle serenity. We love them and will miss them so much. Our sympathies to you and your families and our extended families, at this time. May you feel some comfort in knowing that Aunt Ada and Uncle Grant are still together and in the care of our Heavenly Father. All our love and prayers. Elizabeth Jolly, David Nicholl, David Jr, and Alexandra.

Condolence from Annette Gilbert on January 7th, 2018 4:19 PM

Ann and Michelle,
I was shocked to hear of your parents’ passing. I have SO many fond memories of sleepovers at your house…Your dad joking, teasing and singing while doing Mark’s therapy, your mom busy at the wood stove just trying to keep us out of trouble. What a privilege I didn’t recognize as a child to have spent time in the home of such a resilient couple.
With the sense of peace that can only come from Christ, they wrote such a life story.
I’m sending you my thoughts and love.

Annette Gilbert …But always a Cann

Condolence from Nancy on January 7th, 2018 6:54 PM

I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear loved ones. Please accept my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Grant and Ada Triebner. This was an unimaginable loss and sometimes words can fail to bring comfort to the broken-hearted. May you find the expressions at Psalm 34:18 and Psalm 147:3 to be a source of comfort and inner peace.

Michele, Ann and families…

You are who you are because of the love and nurturing of wonderful parents! Well done aunt Ada and uncle Grant! May peace be with the family through this very rough ordeal. Please know that our love and prayers are with you all.

To the whole Triebner family
I don’t have the words to tell you how deeply Grant and Ada’s deaths have affected all of us.
I was sitting with Ada and the conversation turned to their loss of Mark. Her testimony of his passing, and their unwavering faith in God’s grace and mercy will be with me all my life. And now the whole country knows of their love. These condolences will reassure you all the rest of your life of the love that’s surrounding you.

Condolence from Joy & Allan Meyer on January 8th, 2018 3:33 PM

Dear Triebner Family:

2 Corinthians 5:8 assures us, “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord”. May your heavenly Father give you supernatural peace and comfort in knowing that your parents/grandparents are in heaven with Mark and their loving Heavenly Father.

May the warmth of God’s love embrace you
May the compassion of those who care surround you
And may the joy you shared with your loved ones
Brighten your days with the assurance that love lives forever.

SAFELY HOME
I am now at home in heaven
All’s so happy, all so bright
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief are over
Every restless tossing past
I am now at peace forever
Safely home in heaven at last.

Condolence from Ellen Green on January 14th, 2018 7:15 PM

Dear Michelle, Ann and families,
Our sincere condolences to you and your family. My father Melvin grew up with the Triebner family as he was raised where SexSmith Airport is now. He has fond memories of time spent at the Triebner farm. Just last winter dad visited Grant and Ada and had a wonderful visit by the wood stove. They will be missed.

Sincerely, Melvin Greb and Ellen Green and family

Condolence from RuthAnne Triebner on January 17th, 2018 1:27 AM

Dear Anne & Michele
I think uncle Grant would be chuffed by all the international media attention he and Aunt Ada are receiving. They have left their story of love & commitment for all the world to focus on as a blueprint to a lasting marriage. Our thoughts and love is with you both.
X RuthAnne, Andrew, Jasper & Julian
