Dear Myrtle, Marlene, Alan (Lori), Darrell (Vivian) & Extended Families . . .
I am sending my heartfelt sympathies to you at this difficult time as you say good-bye & mourn the loss of an especially important man in your lives. I wanted to reach out to you to pay my respects, especially from myself (Brenda Parsons), my siblings, & my parents, the late Jack and Marion Parsons. Although it has been many years since I last saw Murt & Mrytle, I always enjoyed meeting up with them at my parent’s farm (Parsons Stables) for coffee & cookies, sharing stories of the families. I especially remember Murt as being a kind gentle soul with a huge heart, but he had a heck of a temper with us young ones, when we would get caught raiding his food truck out on Waterloo St., Exeter. Murt & Myrtle raised a wonderful family. I have so many great memories of both our families visiting back & forth in the earlier years from the days of horse shows, trail rides and rodeos.
May your cherished memories put a smile on your face & comfort you through these difficult days ahead. It is always hard to see our once lively husband, father, grandfather age & eventually leave this world behind – but know Murt is now resting in peace.
Thinking of you during this very immensely sad time. May the wonderful memories you made together as a family help you through the difficult days ahead & know that his legacy will live on in all of you. . .
Murt touched the lives of so many, leaving a profound impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. His life’s journey leaves a legacy of love, joy, kindness, generosity, laughter, humour, & cherished memories that will forever be treasured by those who were fortunate enough to have him in their lives. Please know that I care & share in your sadness. May you find strength & comfort in the love of family & in the warm embrace of friends.
Though he may be gone from our sight, his spirit will continue to live on . . . may he forever rest in peace!
“Don’t cry because I’m gone; Smile brightly because I lived”
My thoughts & prayers are with you all as you mourn & celebrate the incredible life of your beloved Murt – God Bless You! ( I am so sorry that I cannot be present for the visitation/funeral )
Love, Brenda (Parsons) Martene
