Dear Lynne, Art, and family;
I want to express to you my heartfelt sympathy on Grant's passing. I certainly recall him as a child attending Sunday School headed by his grandfather, Roy. Be assured that my thoughts and prayers are for all of you.

Dear Lynn and Art ,

Thinking of you and your family at this sad time.

My sincere condolences on losing Grant. I cannot imagine anything worse than losing a child no matter what age. If I can be of any assistance, Lynn. please let me know. Barb Bergeron.

Sometimes life gets the best of us. In Grant's case that's true.

Grant and I were born at almost the same time. I would say we were pretty close cousins growing up. While spending my summers at Oma and Opa's in Medicine Hat, Grant and I weaseled away the days exploring Medicine Hat's coulees while trying to stay out of trouble. We weren't always successful (at staying out of trouble). On those hot summer days, I remember looking forward to Opa inviting Grant and I down to the basement to enjoy a small glass of Coke (or was it Pepsi?). Oma would always be sure we didn't drink too much. Oma and Opa loved Grant and really wanted the best for him. This was reflected in their instruction and prayers.

We also loved when Art would hook us up with the dirt bikes and let us be crazy kids. While I was the more cautious type, Grant was fearless. He could do anything on that dirt bike it seemed, of course, not without injury though.

Grant came to BC to live with us for a spell. Grant and I continued to be mischievous teenagers while exploring the forests of BC. We grew quite close and I fondly remember spending time just hanging out with Grant. I remember how Grant seemed to have the world at his feet at that time.

Unfortunately, Grant and I drifted apart as we became adults and started to do real life. I did always look forward to hearing updates on Grant's life from my Mom though. Grant (and his family) were, and often are, on my heart. I continue to remember the Lorenz family in prayers, and, especially at this time, that this would be a time or remembering Grant at his best. He was a one of a kind and that brings a tear to my eye, yet at the same time, a smile to my face if you know what I mean.

Our church family at Connect Church, Abbotsford, now Hope City Church, welcomed Grant when he was able to come with his aunt Priscilla. Even though Grant struggled so in his own person-hood, he had a genuine love for Jesus and people. We remember Grant with great fondness and joy and believe he is home safe in His heavenly Father's house for always. Pastors Adrienne & Blake and Grant's church family at Connect Church

We are sorry to hear of your loss. Thinking of you.

So sorry to hear of Grant's passing. May you hold him forever in your hearts.

Well, he is gone, and I will miss those phone calls: "Auntie, how's it going? How are all my cousins and their children?" And then he would go on to mention each one by name. There were times when I really didn't know what to do, but I was always glad when he phoned. It was more difficult getting in touch with him, but I knew when he phoned it was good to be in touch.
I am also grateful for the Salvation Army here in Abbotsford...they are doing a wonderful job. Also just want to say a loving thank you to all my friends in my church here in Abbotsford. They have a very kind and loving way with everyone who enters their doors.
My love and condolences to both Art, Lynn, and all your children and grandchildren, and also to Grant's children.
With love
Aunt Priscilla

So very sorry for your loss. May God give you strength & peace!

Dear Lynne, Art and family,
Our deepest condolences in the loss of your son Grant.
Linda and Barry

My condolences to Art and Lynn, Brent and Kevin. I will always remember how a few days before Grant passed away, he called his Aunt and said “please say Hi to Rachel , Archie, Josh, Sarah, and Faith.” He never forgot my family. Grant was my cousin. One thing I will always remember is his smile and genuine friendliness.

Dear Lynne and Art
I was so very sorry to learn of your son's passing. There is no greater sorrow than losing a child.
My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. Take good care of yourselves and each other.
