Visiting Calgary will not be the same without seeing your gentle, happy smile. Thank you for always making me feel welcome. It seems like only yesterday you were reading at my wedding, looking beautiful in your lovely hat. It's hard to believe you are gone but I know you are happy up in heaven with the other angels.

Love,
- Mannie Dillon

I will never forget my childhood memories of you - at the old house, camping, Hawaii, soccer games, birthdays, and holidays. Thank you for attending my confirmation, graduation, and my wedding.

I have missed you these past few years and I will miss you even more now that you are gone. But I will never forget your laughter, humour, and your love for life.

Rest in peace.

I hope there are lots of date cookies waiting for you in heaven.

Love,
