My family and I are so sorry for the loss of Mr. Peake. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Mrs. Peake and your family. I was so glad I was able to be there and offer some help to you all in the last few years. I enjoyed seeing Mr. Peake when he was at the center and he always made me laugh. He was such a kind man, even when ill. God Bless.
My deepest sympathies to your family. You remain in my prayers and not only through this difficult time but always! – Happy moments, praise God. – Difficult moments, seek God. – Quiet moments, worship God. – Painful moments, trust God. – Every moment, thank God. May God’s love carry you through this sorrowful time. — Debi
He was a colleague, companion and a friend. He has been gone for quite a while but I will still miss his kindness and his ready wisdom.
At last Merwin’s long struggle is over. We wish you, Muriel, the children and the grands a large measure of peace. We have all missed Merwin for so long. We shared many wonderful times together. Our love, Tom & Irene

Dear Muriel we only got to know Merwin recently and we both liked him very much. We will miss this very nice man. -Vassilios and Maria
Dear Muriel, We will miss Merwin so much. He was so brilliant and funny. You took such good care of him. The loss of a mate of so many years must be very hard to bear.
To Murial and family, our deepest sympathies to you all. We had meant to pay our respects to Murray and to you in person but I would have brought along a nasty cold which no one would have welcomed. Murray was a wise and very considerate officer and colleague, whom I much respected at work and delighted in working alongside in CIRA. We wish you and your family only the best.
