Dear George
Your loss is all of ours...., we grieve together.

Dear George,
Our condolences -- those words seem so trite in view of this loss.  
We are so sorry to have missed the memorial service for Chris -- and so saddened to learn about his passing. Our thoughts are with you during this very difficult time and he will be greatly missed. 
I hope that your memories of the light and love that he brought to your life and your children's lives will at least give you some comfort in the days to come. 
Your words of inspiration during his service will, I hope, provide some comfort to those living with loved ones struggling with those same issues   
Best
Kerry Harris (Trevor and Alex too)

Those we love stay in our hearts forever. With sincere sympathy.

To the Smitherman-Peloso families

We knew Christopher for too short a time. But in that time we knew him as a loving man with a wonderful, understated sense of humour. He leaves us wishing we had known him much better for much longer. We never will forget his special exuberance at his wedding and his insistence that everyone share his joy.

We can only wish all the best in life to you, especially to Michael and Kayla

Maureen and Rick, Toronto

Dear George,

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of Christopher. I never had the pleasure of meeting him but he obviously was a remarkable guy.No words are ever sufficient in these circumstances but I wish the best for you and the children and in time may the memories of his tragic loss be replaced by the memories of the wonderful times you shared. With deep sympathy and warm regards,Dennis

You were loved by all who knew you dear Chris Hugs XO

My deepest condolences to the family. A wonderful resource for the family and children is offered at thework.com, including a book for children. With love, Gretchen, Whitby

Dearest George and family,
There are no words to express how I feel for your loss. Christopher was a wonderful man.  May the support of your family and friends help you through this.

What I'll remember about Chris was his sense of adventure and up for anything attitude. He was always a positive, warm and sincere guy. Whether it was him and I tearing it up at a charity golf tournament with those carts that go about 10km/hr checking out the action rather than using them to actually play golf (and giggling all the way I might add) or whether it was having a heart to heart in the carribean sea after deciding to jump in the water clothes and all after a work dinner. He always approached everything with a fantastic sense of humour and a kind heart (not to mention a great fashion sense). And I'll miss him dearly - always and forever. To his family, friends and everyone whom was lucky enough to know him I wish you my deepest sympathy. See you on the other side Chris. Love, Meliss

Our deepest sympathy to George Smitherman, his children and the Peloso family.  We know the pain of losing a loved one to suicide and we keep you in our thoughts and prayers.  May memories of happier times bring you comfort..Earl & Caroline Macdonald (Fergus, ON)

Dear Mr. Smitherman, please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your partner, Christopher.

Regards, Rod Sheridan

Chris was a roommate and dear friend. I have many fond memories of him. He and I raised 2 baby squirrels together who had lost their mother. We took turns getting up in the night every 4 hours and feeding them formula from an eye dropper for 2 months before they were big enough to set free. What a kind heart.

Dear George,

Dear George and family,

On behalf of those of us who live with depression, anxiety and mental illness on a daily basis, please know I am truly sorry for your loss.  Please focus on the positive memories and live each day remembering all the wonderful, supportive, uplifting things he showed you throughout his life.  You must do this to honour his life and to celebrate your own life.  Please do not let his passing be in vain...and when possible, please support those who also suffer from depression.  My thoughts are with your whole family at this difficult time. God bless.

George and family: 

Know that so many of us here in Toronto and across the province who have never even met your family are thinking of you and sharing in your pain. May you find peace and comfort in each other and the memories you have of Christopher. Lots of love.

I will always remember the time I spent with Christopher when we worked together at Lindt. We had many interesting conversations and I always appreciated his intelligence, wit, kindness and strength. I missed him when he left and now he will be missed by all of those that loved him.
Cyndi

Reno, Mary Ann,Rena and Stephanie,and Chris's family, I know your family ties will help you through this troubling time.

Dear George,  Our hearts broke when we got the sad news.  We still remembered the time we got together to taste the food he prepared and the wonderful birthday cake for Michael, we still remembered he accompanied William together with Michael and Kayla to Toronto Zoo when Roy was away for an international trip … Christopher is so nice and gentle and he manages details so well and cares people around him so much! He will always live in our hearts!

I was a classmate of Christopher's in high school, and have not seen him in many years but I know that he will be missed.  My deepest sympathies on the loss of your husband, father, and son.

Dear George: I became very sad to learn of Christopher's death.  Words are not sufficient to convey my condolences. May the many cherished memories you have keep you strong in the months ahead. The children will be a great source of joy.  With love and affection,  Ceta Ramkhalawansingh (Toronto)

Dear George, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Be comforted by memories of the joy you shared and by knowing you will  always have him in your heart.

George,

please accept my condolences.

As I did not know Christopher personally, I hope that the following quote from Jonne Donne is most appropriate.

'No Man is an Island'
No man is an island entire of itself; every man 
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; 
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe 
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as 
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine 
own were; any man's death diminishes me, 
because I am involved in mankind. 
And therefore never send to know for whom 
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. 


 
Peter ( de Auer )

Dear George.  I am so very sorry for your loss.  You two have made such a beachhead for the cause, and celebrated your love in normalcy before it was fashionable to do so. Kudos to you and Christopher.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Your love has touched all of us.

My deepest regards, thoughts and prayers for all the family and close friends. 

To be missed but never forgotten and always loved. Now to celebrate.

George Marsland

Dear Chris's family & friends, especially George and kids,

My thoughts, prayers and condolences are with you on this tragic loss. May the spirits grant everlasting peace to his departed soul and strength to you and his loved ones.

I knew Chris as a caring, intelligent and detail oriented person ... Someone you had so much to learn from. I am thankful for all the wonderful meals he cooked and for his time in patiently listening to my many business and social venture ideas. He always asked me tons of questions, was never judgmental, and gave constructive feedback. 

I am sad not to have seen him lately and will always hold him in high regard for the good man he was.

Sincerely,
Ashutosh Jha

Dear George:

Our prayers are with you, Michael and Kayla. May Christopher's warm memories shine a bright light forever in your hearts.  What I remember most about Christopher was his contagious smile.  Please accept my deepest heartfelt condolences.  Babak + Emily

I recall fond memories being in his presence and knowing he was there for you in all respects. May Christopher rest in peace but never be forgotten by those whose lives he's touched and cared for. 
Georgina

Dear George and Family
My thoughts and prayers are with you. If only one could find words or actions to bring you some comfort at this time of great loss and wonderful remembrance. Christopher was a special soul who we were honoured and privileged to know.
