Love you always mom! Could anyone was to ask for a better mother. She could do no wrong. She was always kind, caring, forgiving, there to kiss scraped knees, to right the wrongs your family endured. Love you mom!

Marla and I didn't have the privilege of knowing Edna or most of her family, but we have known Gord (Trimac) for a short time, and have come to enjoy his company tremendously, especially during our hunting trips together. I have felt Gord's love for his Mom in our recent conversations at work.
Marla and I extend our deepest condolences, and best wishes for your family in this dark time.
If I may, I'd like to share a little poem with you, that is placed in Algonquin Park, at the Tom Thomson memorial on the north side of Canoe Lake;
Remember friend, as you pass by,
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, so you will be;
Prepare thyself to follow me.

God Bless Aunt Edna. I remember my Aunt as a loving person, so gentle and regal. I did not see her since I was quite young, but I thought about her often. To my cousins and other family members, I send all my love and condolences and prayers. Love Cousin Sharon

Music, when soft voices die
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
