Syd, we are sincerely sorry to hear about your loss. Your Mother was a very unique person and that special light in your life. I fondly remember those baked cookies she would make for you and you would bring them back to the office so we could all enjoy them. I also remember when she would come into the office to visit and you were busy, she would keep me amused until you were free. Again our condolences to you and your family at this time.

Memories of Auntie Irma's laughter and love of life will forever be in our hearts, minds and souls. Auntie Irma had a very special way of touching my heart as a very young girl, with our little talks about life. Over the years her words of wisdom about being a strong woman and an advocate for ourselves and others will always be apart of me. Aunties like Irma captured many special teachable moments that I have always and will always cherish. You will be in my heart always and missed greatly by your family. Until we meet again, with love and admiration! Marlene HUGS KISSES Our condolences go out to Syd, Gwen, Jocelyn, Kathryn and family.

The last of a generation of 3 boys and two girls have passed to a better place . Chester,Donald,Carl,Marion who passed at birth and now our Auntie Irma .Auntie Irma was one of a kind, We shared a lot of laughs together back in the mid 90's when i was living in Alberta .We watched the 1994 Winter Olympics daily in her den , I remember the figure skating as one of the sports that we watched every day . As each Canadian skater was eliminated my dear old Aunt had very choice words for each skating judge that actually made me blush . We had a blast. Those family members and friends who knew Irma know what i am talking about . Rest In Peace Auntie Irma -
love from your nephew Steve

Thinking of Auntie Irma brings a smile to my face and warmth to my heart. Despite living in different cities all our lives, there was a connectivity there that was unlike any other friendship you could have with an aunt. There were many things she taught me, most of which I can't share! :) She was always supportive, brutally honest and always jovial (except when she wasn't ranting!) Aunt Irma, thank you for all you've given to me. You'll be missed and thought of fondly. Until we meet again. Condolences to Syd, Gweyn and family. Love from Karen (Irma's Goddaughter)
