On Saturday, August 26, 2017, we said farewell to a "kind and gentle man"; a loving son, partner, proud “papa”, brother, uncle and friend., MICHAEL CHESLEY PHILIP PARDY of Kelligrews (recently resided in Shell Lake, Saskatchewan). Although his loss has left a void in our hearts, it helps to know that we were truly blessed to have had him in our lives. We sincerely thank all of our relatives and friends who surrounded us with visits, love and care. A special thank you to The Reverends Bonnie Morgan and Irving Letto of St. Peter’s Church, Upper Gullies for their guidance and support and for the service of Christian burial. Thanks to Joey Angus, Kirsten Rodden-Clarke, Darrin Martin and to all who participated in the service. For thoughtful professional guidance throughout, we thank Carol-Anne of Hickey’s Funeral Home. We gratefully acknowledge the many expressions of sympathy through your visits and hugs, sympathy cards, floral arrangements, telephone calls, monetary donations, gifts of food and prayers. A very special thank you to those who travelled from outside our province to attend. Although it is impossible to thank everyone individually, please be assured your expressions of kindness have provided us with great strength and comfort and will always be remembered. For honoring Michael's memory at this time, we thank you all. PARENTS CHES AND REGINA, PARTNER MELISSA SKINNER, SON KYSON, SISTERS KIMBERLY, PAMELA, RENETA, AND KELLY AND FAMILIES.
