I have so much respect for our Aunt Muriel who, together with her beloved partner Uncle Albert, tirelessly raised such a large family through tough times. Their legacy is their many wonderful children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Muriel was so proud of each one of them, and loved to speak about them. May she rest in peace.

Mom, I am so glad I told you how much I loved you while you were here, and I know you knew that. I am going to miss you so much, our talks every night, our trips to Bingo every weekend and our outings with the Seniors group. I know you are still with me and I still talk to you. All these memories will keep me going. Be happy..Love from your Daughter Sandy.

Your daughter, Joan

Mom, I shall miss you dearly. The many trips we made together, and the Christmas' you spent with us will be treasured in my memories. If I was able to be of comfort in your final days, that is my gift to you. You will be in my thoughts, always.

Mom I told you I loved you while holding your hand and with all my heart I believe you heard me. Now you are at peace and pain cannot touch you again. I will treasure our quiet moments together and they will sustain me. Lovingly Shirley
