So very sorry to hear of your lose.
Dear Anne and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss of Frank. He was a wonderful man who would help out everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with you Anne.
It has been such a pleasure knowing Frank and Anne. They were always willing to participate in my political requests, which I was also very grateful for. Frank was a quite, gentle man who was also smart and wise. He shared all of these wonderful traits with me. He has always been a Dear Friend. I’m thinking of you Anne, at this time of change, but know many are deeply saddened at your loss. My deepest condolences..

Frank defined the term ” an scholar and a gentleman”.
We send our condolences to all the family.
To the Barclay Family,
My heartfelt condolences to you all. Upon returning to live in Pinawa I had the opportunity to get to know both Frank & Anne. Wonderfully funny, welcoming, gentle people who always left me feeling happy Frank would make me smile just by saying hello. Thinking of you all at this time.
So sorry to hear of Mr. Barclays passing…Mrs. Barclay and Penny…you are in my thoughts today…
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope it helps a little to know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Frank and Anne were my almost day and night neighbours and relations. Losing Frank is a great loss even though he was away from me for a few years. Dear Anne, I send you my heartfelt condolence. I will remember yours and Frank’s loving care (for a neighbour like me.) It is God’s will that one has to go first so that the love for the other grows eternal and stronger.
I pray to God that He bestow His choicest Blessings on him so that he may rest in Peace, eternally.
Our condolences to the Barclay family.
Dear Mrs. Barclay and Family,
I will always remember Mr. Barclay’s most sincere handshake, attentive listening ear, warm welcome into his home, quiet, yet fun loving personality, admiration of his wife and family, and devotion to his Lord. I will miss this kind friend of great integrity. We will meet again. Condolences to all of the family.
Love, Tracy
Dear Anne, please accept my condolences on Frank’s passing. I always enjoyed my conversations with you on the crescent.
