Obituary of Lawrence Ivan Sheppard (Lowie) CARD OF THANKS

The family of the late Lawrence (Lowie) Sheppard would like to extend their most sincere gratitude to those who have provided support during this difficult time.

We would like to thank neighbours Brent Payne, Lisa Park, the Volunteer Paramedics of McIvers, Corner Brook Paramedics, and RCMP Constable Riley White for all the help and support you provided.

Words cannot describe how greatly we appreciate all the condolences and love we have received from near and far.  For everyone who attended the Celebration of Life and those who spoke such kind words and shared some funny stories.  Family and friends who were unable to attend and sent tributes, your words will never be forgotten. 

Thank you to everyone who attended the reception at the house and celebrated his life with us, it’s the way he would have wanted it.

To everyone who sent cards, gave donations, delivered wood and brought so much food, we cannot say thank you enough from the bottom of our hearts.

A very special thank you to Tammy Bell who took the time away from her children and family to travel and be there with me (Nancy) on this adventure. For all the love and support you gave and continue to give the family.

Thank you to Mindy Holloway at Fillatre’s Funeral Home for all your guidance through this difficult process.

Forever grateful Grace, Nancy and John

Keep on trucking Dad, 10-4 Over and Out
