Dear Claire and Julia,
May you hold close in your heart the memories that you created together as a family. I have just heard of this sad news when I went for a visit today at Glenburnie. I know that there are no words that anyone can say that will ease your pain. Always remember that your mother loved you both very much and will be a part of you, always.
With deepest sympathy and love,
Melissa Meevis (Leduc)

Dear Julia and Clair,

Heartfelt sympathies to both of you. I will always remember your Mom as a great friend and devoted mother. She was thoughtful, generous, had a wonderful spirit and sense of humour. You were the centre of her world and she was so very proud of all of your accomplishments. We have so many fond memories of time spent with all of you at our bi-monthly playgroup, birthdays, Christmas parties, Lantern Festivals, CNY and summer picnics. May the many memories you created together bring comfort in the days ahead.

Sharon, Terry, Emily & Sophia

Julia and Claire,
We are very sorry for your loss. Your Mom loved you so much and was so proud of you. She was smart and kind and generous and funny. I remember we would always have a laugh together when we bumped into each other.
And she was always always proud of her girls.
Our deepest sympathies.

Julia and Claire,
We are so saddened by the news of your Mom's passing and our hearts break for you both!
We shared many special times - especially in Changsha to meet Julia and, a few years later, meeting Claire upon her arrival at the Toronto Airport. We also have great memories with you girls and your Mom while at Camp Wanakita's Family Camp, at FCC celebrations, at our March 24th gatherings and, of course, the birthday parties :) So many happy memories!
I hope your memories of your Mom will help you through this difficult time. Know that your Mom loved you dearly and that she was always so proud of you both!
Much warmth and love to you both.
With sympathy and love,
Catherine, Ellen & Patrick
