Heather, Donald, Randy, Allan and Michael

My deepest sympathy to all of you on the loss of your mother. I have fond memories of Auntie Isabel's visits out west and the Christmas packages sent to us filled with her knitted mittens and "gems" from her bazaars.
I'm so sorry that I can't be there to share in the celebration of your mother's life and hear the stories that my cousins can convey so well.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all
Love,

Randy & Trish Blanchard

Heather, Donald, Randy, Allan, Michael,

So sorry to hear of the passing of Auntie Isabel this weekend. Just this weekend, before getting the news I had been thinking of Auntie and how she always gave me my favorite books for Christmas and a book of Lifesavers candy every year. Endless memories of the family Christmases and New Years together. My thoughts and love go out to all of you.

So sorry to hear of the passing of your mother, if I was closer I would make you a big pan of Shepards Pie so that you would not get hungry or have to cook anything for a day or so. Again, my sincere sympathy to you and your family. Love, Claudia Long

Hi Gang,

Was very sad when I found out via a note from Michael about aunt Isabel. She truly was a very special aunt that raised 5 great kids.

I feel very lucky to have witnessed the love you guys had for aunt Isabel, even more when visiting "Sunrise". Any mother would be blessed to have kids like you as I am sure you guys feel the same about her being your "MOTHER".

Looking foward to going down and see you guys to celebrate her life.

See you soon (with Colby)....

Deepest sympathy,

Ron & Colby Gray

Dear Alan, Chris, & Scott:

I was so sorry to hear about Alan's mother's death. Alan, she must have been a wonderful mother to you, mother-in-law to Chris, and a dear grandmother to Alan.

My prayers and thoughts go out to the rest of your family. I will be attending the first visitation and unfortunately will not be able to attend the funeral.

With love,

Jennifer Brown
