Dear Felicia (John)/Stephen (Jo, Lianna, Harris and Scott); Once again I am very sorry for the passing of your father, father-in-law and grandfather. Although we knew this day was inevitable; it is never easy and you all need to be SO proud of yourselves for everything and more that you did to support him through his fight with that dreaded C. No more suffering; may he rest in peace.

Morris and Family, I knew Willie for over 50 years. He always made me laugh and I never let on that I didn’t understood all of the Yiddish words and phrases that came out of his mouth. So sorry to learn of his passing.

Dear Fefer Family... I am saddened to learn of Willie's passing. I have known him and his immediate family since living as neighbours in downtown Toronto. I have often thought of him and the fun times we had since childhood. We have often run into each other over the years. Willie had a great sense of humour; and we often conversed in Yiddish trying to out-do each other with words and phrases. Willie will be missed and never forgotten. May his memory be for a blessing. BDE

The abhorrent acts committed by the globally recognized terrorist organization Hamas on the citizens of Israel are reprehensible. The blatant disregard for humanity and the destruction they have inflicted on our homeland and its people is heartbreaking. These atrocities have absolutely devastated our communities and many others around the world.

While Hamas may be working to create division amongst inhabitants of our homeland and throughout the globe, it is now more important than ever to stay unified as one. We would like to offer a place on our webpage for individuals in our community to share their messages of condolence to those who have been lost, their thoughts and prayers to all those who have been impacted, and their prayers of safety to those who are fighting for the security of Israel and its children

Please consider performing a Mitzvah in memory of those who have fallen.
