Lucy and family,
I was very saddened to hear of Mike's passing. Growing up, my sister and I were so lucky to have him in our lives as he was so kind and caring to us both. His passing is a great loss, but I have no doubt that his kindness and big heart will continue to be remembered in the minds of all those he has touched over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Lucy, Geraldine, Michelle, Michael and all the McGrath family ...
Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of your husband, father and brother. While this surely is a time to celebrate a life well lived, it is also deeply saddening to say good-bye to such a good and caring man. My earliest memories of Michael go back to all the years that I spent at the childhood home of my dearest friend and cousin, Jacky. Michael and his family spent so much time there as well visiting with Aunt Nora and Uncle Leonard. My lasting impressions of Michael were that he was first and foremost a devoted family man and that he was also a tireless worker. He was always so proud of his children and loved to share about how well they were doing in school ... always at the top of their classes. Then in later years, he beamed with pride as he shared bits of the successful lives and careers they had carved out for themselves. You gave him so many reasons to be proud of each of you. It must have been a great comfort to Michael to have two exceptional daughters / nurses helping him as he fought his battle with cancer. What a wonderful gift to be able to give your dear father when he needed you most. Cherish your many precious memories of a warm and wonderful man. You're in our thoughts and prayers. Wishing peace and gentle blessings to you all... Anne & Fred

Dear Family Members, Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your dear loved one . Losing a loved one can be the most difficult time in a persons life. Are we not truly blessed with the hope our Creator has given us of seeing our loved ones again. His loving comfort from the scriptures brings us much relief and confidence in the blessings of Jehovah's Kingdom. Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” John 5:28,29 "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out" Isaiah 35:5,6 "At that time the eyes of the blind will be opened, And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped. At that time the lame will leap like the deer, And the tongue of the speechless will shout for joy." The thought of spending time with our loved ones again when they will be in perfect health here on earth with us again is very appealing isn't it. Jehovah had these wonderful promises written for us and he tells us why at Romans 15:4 "For all the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope." I hope these scriptures from God's word have brought you some comfort and you will be able to reflect on this wonderful hope when you think of your loved one.

Dear Aunt Lucy, Geraldine, Michelle, Mike and families,
My McGrath family,
Uncle Mike was a fine man. We will remember him for his humor, goodness, and big strong hands. It's hard to believe that he started out in life as a three pound baby, born at home, and kept warm on the oven door. (He loved to share that story). The girls and I are thinking of you all and wishing you peace at this very sad time.
RIP Uncle Mike. We all have a new angel.
God Bless you all.
Love,
Jacky, Allanah, Nora, and Lily.

Geraldine, Wayne and the McGrath Family,
My heart is sad at hearing the news of your Dad's passing. Please know that I am thinking of you.
Geraldine, I admire the courage and strength you had to look after your Dad during his illness, such a precious gift you gave him.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there - I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints in snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
As you awake with morning's hush
I am the swift-up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there - I did not die.
by Mary Frye
Love,
Tanya

Dear Lucy and family,
We were surprised and so very sorry to hear of Mike's passing. When I think of Mike I think of an amazing man, husband and father. one with very strong family values. He was always so kind, patient, and accommodating to Jarred and Kelsie and would spend endless hours playing with them.I know this must be a difficult time for you but hopefully memories of all the good times you shared will ease some of the pain.Big Mike will always hold a special place in our hearts as well as memories of many happy times spent with you, Mike and your family during our Labrador days. Hugs to you all.
Patty, Jarred, and Kelsie
