🕯 Bonnie Loppès lit a candle The little time spent together was enough to show me how wonderful you are. Living life with smile and enthusiasm, and going after your dreams. I imagine you in heaven, eating all food and climbing all clouds. It will take forever to say you goodbye. I'll miss you.
🕯 Mark Bhula lit a candle Sarwan, I feel very privileged to have known you from the time you could swing a cricket bat & throw a ball. To when you had grown into a fine young man who always had a smile on his face and a thirst for adventure , trying everything the outdoors could offer. I will miss your stories of adventure, your humour , beaming ...
🕯 Gideon Samuel lit a candle I just can’t fit all those years of our friendship into a few paragraphs, but I’ll try. Chandy, miss you brother. The last time I met Chandy was also one of my greatest memories of him. It was just months ago, the day after I attended the funeral of another close friend of mine. I was a complete mess and didn’t even ...

🕯 Tim Calder lit a candle Sars, It's hard to believe whats happened. Playing footy won't ever feel the same knowing that we will never be able to play together again. From 13 grade all the way through to seniors, I have so many good memories with you and Rav. Whether it was playing footy, going for runs and you leaving me for dead or having a beer...
🕯 Sutter Schumacher lit a candle Sarwan, you've blessed so many with your kindness, generosity, and zest for adventure. I count myself privileged to have crossed your path. May we all continue to live in your footsteps. Sending you and your family -- Narrell, Ravin, Joseph and Armand and countless others near and far-- so much love. xo
🕯 Rajnil Kumar lit a candle Our deepest sympathy to Chand family, brother Ravin and sister in law Narelle. Sad to see you leave us Sarwan. May your soul Rest in Peace. We have known you from early childhood when you visited us in Ba, Fiji. You were a full of life person and it is indeed very sad to hear about your loss. RIP, You will rest in heav...
🕯 Janise Kumar lit a candle Dear Sarwan, What words could ever be nice enough to write in my last message to you. I feel weird writing this to you at all. I can't remember when I last spoke to you - I wish that I had spoken to you more and more often. You were a great guy. I remember that much from High School. I knew you were one of the nice...
🕯 Sara Hefny lit a candle Sarwan, I had yet to meet you, but I felt as if I already knew you because you had filled my best friend with so much light and love these last few months. From everything I know, you were an amazing human and I was so looking forward to meeting you in Canada this summer. May your lovely soul continue to inspire others t...
🕯 Libby lit a candle Utter shock at this tragic news that you were taken so suddenly, so early. Like Janise, I didn't keep in contact with you much after school. While we weren't super close, you were one of those special people who got a long with everything and happily did your own thing. You obviously made the most of adult life and gave it yo...

🕯 Nicolas lit a candle We met back in 1997 or so, he was a very happy and good kid. Even though I'm far away and haven't talked to him in a while, I have very good memories of him. I'm sure he made such a good and positive impact on everyone, because that's the kind of person he was. To the family and friends, my deepest sympathies. Even though h...
