    Dear Helen
    and all Bob’s family,
    What memories come to mind when I think of Bob!…from his facilitating and encouraging the Gospel work via the media for francophone Canada…to his good humour during a fishing trip near Noranda (and the privilege I had of cooking for the gang when they returned from their outing…poor men!!), to his ministry on PEI where I heard him speak several times… And now to think he is experiencing the City called Glory!! WHAT PRAISES must fill His House! May the God of all
    comfort enfold you whom Bob has left behind! In Christ’s love, Marj

    Love and prayers to the McLaren family. Mr. McLaren was made a positive impact on my life, as a young girl. He was a wonderful, Godly man, filled with much biblical wisdom. As a child, I remember how he visited our school and gave out Gideon bibles. I also remember when he helped me to better understand the scriptures and gave me valuable advice on how to challenge other’s in their faith beliefs. It is comforting to know he is celebrating with Jesus now. Blessings, Jody

    Dear Helen and family
    Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of a lost one pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.
    Sorry for your loss.

He led my wife afroza to the lord at tenth ave gospel chapel. Many heard him preach many times. He made a big impact on me and my family over the years. We choose to serve the Lord because of him and Hellen.
