Dear Anna and Family,
I remember spending time with you and your mother in your kitchen after school.When we were in grade 7 I made a cake for my mother for her birthday(when I was at home for lunch),and when I picked you up to go back to school after lunch,your mom found out about the cake and immediately offered to "Help Me" ice it after school.I still remember how pretty it was.(Pink with turquoise trim).My mother was very surpised and it was a big hit!I remember your mother well!She was a lovely woman
My deepest condolences to you and your family.

My dear Anna, Lilian, Roger, and family members all,
May the precious and wonderful memories of your most beloved Mother's love and sincere caring bring comfort to you now at this sad time,and be with you always,until you are reunited for eternity.
Remembering with deep fondness and great affection the times we spent at Lakefield, Ile Perreault, at your house, we were always so welcomed, and made to feel like family. Your mom was exemplary as a person, mother, genuinely kind individual, and I am so glad Anna, we got to become acquainted on the 55 bus ride home from kindergarten registration. Do you recall my mom bringing Gerry after school so you & I could practice ballet lessons? You were my bridesmaid, and we have known each other now over five decades, how precious and special is that......
"Life is eternal and love is immortal
And death is only a horizon,and a
horizon is nothing save the limit
of our spirit".

Dear Roger, Anna, Lily, and families,
I just helped my mom write, and send, condolences your way. As you may notice, I TYPED MY FATHER'S NAME TWICE!
Oh my...And I submitted a message earlier, only to have it vanish, it seems, in cyberspace. I want, from my heart to all of yours, to express my deepest sympathy at this time. I did not know Stella well, but I DO remember her: always called me "dear," always asked how my brother, Gerry, was doing...And I can remember eating jam, I believe it was rose petal jam, in her kitchen, when I was a child. A kind, loving, and warm person...She is an angel now, watching over us all.
Sincerely,
Janie
(Olga & Joe's youngest, and "little sister" of Wendy and Gerry)

From my heart to all of yours...I didn't know Stella that well, but I DO remember her as being kind, warm, a genuinely good person. I can remember, when I was little, eating rose petal (?) jam at her home--but not liking it (the jam, that is!). She always called me "dear" and would ask about my brother, Gerry. Sending my deepest, and sincere condolences...
She is an angel now, watching over us all.
