In Loving Memory of
Malcolm Summersby

It is with very heavy
hearts that we share the
sudden passing of our
beloved board member and
friend, Malcolm
Summersby on Tuesday,
May 7th, 2013.
It is difficult to find
the right words to speak
to all that Malcolm
embodied and was to us
all. He was an
inspiration, a mentor, a
dear friend and he
personified all that we
are and try to be at
Turning Point. His
capacity for caring was
endless as was the list
of the kindnesses and
volunteer contributions
he made to us and
countless other
individuals and
organizations.
A memorial service for
Malcolm will be held at
Coastal Church in
Vancouver at 4:00 pm,
Sunday, May 19th.

Our board and staff
express our deepest
condolences to Malcolm’s
true love and partner
Marlene, his beloved
niece Samantha, and his
many friends and
extended family members. |
