Dearest Margie, Greg, Tim, Kelly and families;
I rise on Father’s Day and after contemplating my Dad who’s been gone for 19 years now, I immediately think of Garth and your family and this first one without him for all of you. I am so very sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful man. In my mind, he was a most elegant man, an erudite. The comforting truth I have found, with time, is that those we love never actually die; they live on with us, every day, if we just take them with us. You know what Garth meant to our family, you know that each of us loved him and please know that each of us are remembering him today and holding each of you up in prayer. One of my Dad’s favourite sayings was “a teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops.” The same can certainly be said for dearest Garth, for he was certainly a teacher. I lite this candle for Garth, a second father to me, on Father’s Day in his memory by so that you will all know and remember during this dark time, that “all the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” Much love, Mark Rushton & family of the late Charles Rushton
