My love and sadness goes out to the family for their loss during this difficult time. Family is one of the most important things. It is something that is never absent, but always exists through the times of happiness we share, or times of sorrow where we need someone to lean on. Mr. Banman was a good Uncle to my mother, Maggie, as well as a loved member of the Bergen family to my great aunt Hellen, and grandparents. You may be gone from our presence, but your memories will always exist in the minds of those who love and care for you. - Adam Jonathan Klassen.

To a wonderful Uncle, whom I loved dearly. As time passes and kids grow, we remember the times when we were young, getting together and playing with cousins, while grandma cooked her wonderful goodies. I have fond memories of my Uncle Neil smiling and joking with me, winking and pretending to take my side when his sons would pick on me one too many times.....made me feel so special to think he was on my side...! I have memories of him driving us all to London on a shopping trip or something....I mostly remember getting to skip school for the day, and again, being made to feel special. Without a lot of prestige, and wealth, one quickly realizes that success is measured on a deeper level- success is the love of family and friends, and health. Unfortunately my Uncle lost his health, and ulitmately it took his life, but he did not lose the love and respect of his family, all gathered by his bed. Differences were all put aside,and what really mattered became very clear. LOVE is the greatest of all. He passed out of this world,not alone but surrounded by those that he loved and those that loved him. We cry now and feel sad, not for him, but for ourselves and how we will continue without him. I watched as my Aunt Helen loving leaned over him many times and straightened his oxygen mask, and stroking him with all the love that decades of being together had brought. She told me he wasn't done loving , that she didn't want to be without his love. I asked her to look around the room at the love,at her children; for they are the living proof of the love they shared for many years. That love lives on, in the generations that continue. You may be gone in body, Uncle Neil, but not in spirit of memory. Love, Maggie Bergen Klassen
