Condolence From: Shannon Finnerty Heskett
My heart goes out to the family and loved ones. I was fortunate enough to be able to spend time with Julie Egan at the family cottage in Canada one spring during college and see her grandparents and the area that they loved so much. It was a wonderful memory for me and I know the family has so many warm times to look back upon for peace and happiness. Love and prayers to you all.

Dear All families of Victor Hartman Please except our condolances. My Mother talked so fondly of Victor when he came to Windsor at a very early age and stayed with mom and dad (Aunt Verone and uncle Joe and worked in Windsor. As a (younger) cousin I was unable to experience the love and yoy they shared together but in my heart now that my mommy is there up in heaven with them all. I know they are all one happy family. God bless you all. Karen and John Melnik and family.
Condolence From: Brenda and Don Brunelle
Our condolences to all of you, for heaven has truly received two exceptional saints to watch over all of us. Your mom and dad were as real as they come. Lived for family, loved their family and never judged any of us. Heaven’s gain; I am sure feels like our loss here on earth. Your mom and together are together, a promise they made years back and have truly lived out as witnesses to the validity of marriage and all it represents. The loss is great for all of you, please know that you are each in our thoughts and prayers and that each day during your mourning process you will be reminded of the many situations that gave you great joy of the time you shared with your mom and dad. Many blessings to all of you.
Brenda and Don of Windsor

Most sincere sympathy to all the family of Vic and Irene. Their home was always welcoming with an abundance of fun, laughter, great food and crazy card games! You have been truly blessed in your choice of parents. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.
Condolence From: Patricia Egan-Myers
Dear Terri and the Hartman family, I want to express my deepest sympathies in regards to the death of your beloved father. As you have so eloquently stated he was a man of peace and integrity. The way he died and his concern for your well being tells us a great deal about him. He was a man of faith and he trusted that he would be going to a place of love. He will be with his beloved wife. May you live knowing that he was a man of courage and strength. Like the parable of the sower, he planted seed and it fell on good ground. It produced a harvest of love. May each of you be blessed with memories of love.
Patty Egan-Myers
