Miss you Imie and all your quirks. Hope you're enjoying heaven with Beyee and Dale.

Miss you Imie and all your quirks. Hope you're enjoying heaven with beyee and Dale.

Imie: You're still felt and talked about by your family. We love you and miss you on this sad day. I hope you, Beyee and Dale are looking down on us and can feel how much we miss you all. You'll be happy to know, though, that your granddaughter Enessa is still the same old adventurous kid - takes after you that way! Love always, Marlene and Enessa

Dear Imie: I remember Christmas as a kid when Beyee would be out driving cab and drop in to eat among all of us. It was chaos but it was a Habib Xmas. I also remember the more intimate Christmases, sometimes just you, Enessa, Streaker and I. I wish we could all be together again - you, Beyee and Dale and Streaker with us.

But I'll just wish you a Holiday in Heaven.

Miss you
love Marlene

Imie Baie and Dale
Happy Mother's Day and soon Happy Birthday and Anniversary to you. We were at the cemetery today and put some beautiful brightly coloured flowers down. It brought some happines to us and some wonderful memories. Everyone misses you all so much. Always in our hearts and prayers. Love you so very much.

Lizzie

THINKING OF OUR GUARDIAN ANGELS...MORE TODAY THAN EVER...16 YRS HAS PASSED AND WE R SMILIN' BUT WISH WE COULD SEE U, BUT THE MEMORIES ARE EVERLASTING.
BEYEE, YOU WERE A STRONG MAN AND CREATED AN AMAZING FAMILY..THANK U!
LOVE NOW AND ALWAYS...ELAINE AND PEYTON

Imie and Beyee (and Dale): I can't believe it's been so many years since Beyee died. Time is just flying by. I still remember your sense of humour and hard work in raising us all. Enessa really misses you and we are thinking of you always. Love, Marlene

Thinking about you both today and just missing you.
Love you always.
Sheila

Imie and Bayee and our brother Dale

As you know, we had a wonderful Christmas. The family was together just like the good old days on California. We will always cherish the memory of our Christmases and how hard you worked Imie to put out a wonderful meal and make sure everyone was happy. I'll never forget the Christmas with your arm on the microwave we bought you. You had a big smile on your face and somehow you knew what it was. Those were the best Christmases of our lives and even though we are creating new memories, our hearts cherish the memories you left behind. We love you all so much and you are near and dear to us every day. Hopefully, the new year will bring a lot of happiness and health and togetherness so more memories can be created for many years to come!

Love you so much
Lizzie (Tony)

Hi Imie and Beyee (and Dale): Miss you a lot. Am thinking of you through the holidays and always.
Love,
Marlene

Hi Immie & Baie I know it is a little late for Christmas Wishes but as you know we were with you on Christmas day anyway and you were missed ! So Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. Lots of love.Sheila

Missing you every day, but waking to a little miracle that resembles you so very much! Time is so very precious and yet we try to cherish every moment, but it goes by us so quickly. You are healthy and happy and in no pain, and for the last 3 years, remembering that, reminds me why you had to leave your family and go home.

Love to you, Imie, and Dale and Baie

xoxoxo
Elaine and Peyton

Hi Imie:
September always brings thoughts of you. I will never forget the deep sorrow that we all felt with your passing. But we remember you always and miss you always. Wish you could be here to share everything with the family. We are keeping you in our hearts no matter what. You would be so proud of Enessa and what she has accomplished. She does it for you.

Kiss Beyee and Dale.

Love,
Marlene

Immi,
It seems like a long time has passed; it also seems like just yesterday. A lot has happened since -- new jobs, Jacob going to school, and most recently, Enessa has travelled all the way to France to continue her studies. But through it all, we still love you and miss you as much as ever.

Love

Hi Citi, I miss you lots. Too much time has gone by but you have been with me every moment of my waking existence over these last few years. I miss you a lot and thinking of you always and always. I love you.
Enessa

The years haven't erased our memory of you. Miss you and remembering you on Father's Day. You'd be proud of Enessa. She's a smart, hard-working person - like you.

Love,
Marlene (and Enessa)

TO an always been there dad who expressed his love many ways to many children! Even when you were always busy working to provide for all of us, you were still there to protect and guide us and raise us the best possible way, and you still do. Happy Father's day Baie. Happy Jeudi's Day too!
xoxo
Elaine and Peyton

The tree and plaque are such a beautiful inspiration. It was a wet, cold day, but a visit could not be passed by on Mother's Day. The homemade card was a task, but made with hands and a heart that is filled with so much love for you, our Imie and Siti, Happy Mother's/Siti's Day.

xo
Elaine and Peyton

Happy mothers day Immie I miss you and I love you.

I remember where I was when I got that phone call on May 2nd. I knew why dad hadn't said happy birthday to me that day. Always in my heart Jeudi. xoxoxo

Always in my thoughts and in my heart.

Love Sheila :)

To Beyee, Imie and Dale: It has been a weird 15 years since Beyee passed away. I can't believe it. Enessa is now nearly 20 and an adult. Beyee, you would have been proud of her. Thinking of you and Imie every day, especially in May as your birthdays approach too. Take care in heaven.
Love,
Marlene

Hi Baie, missing you always but today being more than other days. Your granddaughter started school today too, on your 15 yr. mark, as you can see, so the tears I shed reading Johnny's heartfelt poem this morning before waking her, and starting her thru to another milestone in her life, those tears became a little more. However when picking her up, the joy and smiles were now in place. She did so amazingly well, and as I was watching her from a distance, playing and interacting with other children, that helped me thru to another milestone as well. God watches over her and all of us, and we are so blessed and fortunate to be guided also by our guardian angels, you, Imie and Dale. You raised us in the very best way and taught us about life, what to give, expect and be cautious about, our values and beliefs. Definitely also, trial and error. Thank you for all of that and the memories we hang onto. Tears surface, but then are followed immediately by smiles, joy and laughter, when thinking of how crazy, but fun it was growing up with you both as our parents, having our siblings, and how we have that gift to pass it on to our children.
Always in our hearts, minds and everyday life, we send our love,

Peyton and Elaine

Hi Imie Beyee and Dale
Thinking of you more today than ever. It's been fifteen years beyee, we miss you just as much as ever!!! We go through each day, and as hectic as life is, you're all always in our hearts. We felt your spirits during Mitchells ball games last week. The whole family was there to support him, and as you know it meant so much to him. As long as we stick together, and we have you with us, everything will be okay.

Love you very very much
Lizzie

Hi Imie and Beyee

It's been a while, but your always in my heart. We had a wonderful Easter and surprise party for Kenny. We loved having your spirit and seeing your faces at the dinner table. Everyone was almost there, hopefully at marie's wedding, we'll all be together again. Continue watching over us and guide us through the tough days. We love you lots and think of you always.

Love Lizzie and Tony

Hi Citi and Jeudi,
I miss you too much. I wish you were here for me and that I could be there for you. Please come and visit me soon!
Enessa <3

My apologies to my big brother, not knowing your birthday was on the 27th, so happy belated birthday.
love your little sis
elaine

I never really knew what day your birthday fell on, but I knew it was in March. Special thoughts are with you more so today, so Happy Birthday Dale! Peyton is also celebrating her 17 mos. birthday. Wow, didn't realize you were both born on the 28th of the month, until today. Lots of hugz and love sent to all of you.

xoxo
Elaine and Peyton

It was the perfect ending to a Blessed Easter Holiday being at the cemetary visiting all of you and having so many family members present. That was the first time Peyton and I were there with others and it felt so wonderful being surrounded by family. We all had a big celebration this Easter Holiday and you three were at the dinner table enjoying and celebrating right along with us. Easter morning started off with a good morning and Happy Easter to all of you from Peyton and I in her nursery, then a visit to the guardian angel light in the bathroom that she loves so very much and then her 1st egg hunt, only the eggs were coloured with dye, but how I miss our onion peel coloured ones. You always made Easter fun, Imie! Oh how we miss your Gachi!!!
Lots of love and so very missed
xoxo
Peyton and Elaine

Hi Imie and Beyee:Thinking of you on Easter as always. We miss you--things aren't the same without you, and Dale.
Love,
Marlene

Happy Easter we love you.

Hi Imie and Beyee and Dale:
Am finally getting down to talking to you after a long day. The Gods are certainly with me today - just look at the floodwaters in my basement.

Miss all of you and am always thinking of you. A part of us is gone now that you are in heaven, but you are always around us.

Love today and always,

Marlene

Imie and Baie, a little difficult this year accepting that Dale is now with you. I know you are at peace and so is he. May your love guide Lori, Mitch and the rest of us through this difficult time. Know that you are missed, loved and remembered with fondness. We will reflect on these times as well as the ones past. Rest well and God bless. Jacob Marisa and John.

Dale, Imie and Baie: The Holiday season has arrived and the business too. Peyton is asleep and I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much you are missed and loved. I have to admit, this holiday is difficult, even though it is usually just a phone call Christmas morning to you Dale, at least we could do that much. So we still can, but it will be through the special power of prayer, and through this journal. So, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to our Guardian Angels, our mom, dad and big brother. Take care of each other and now Imie and Baie, you have help with Dale at your side to protect and guide the rest of us through our lifes' journeys until we come home too.

xoxo to you Siti, Jeudi, and Uncle Dale, and I hope Santa deliveres this special message to you on time for Christmas.

Love to all of you
Elaine, Kim and Peyton

Hi Imie and Beyee
I hope your enjoying your time with Dale again. We miss him so much, but we know he's caring for you now. I know you're having wonderful times together. As Christmas comes closer, the memories of all the holidays we've had together come back clearer than ever. We had so many good Christmases(especially on California Street). Even Dale made the effort to come every year with his family. Now you'll enjoy this holiday together in heaven and we'll bond with each other here. Aunt Hoda is doing so much for us and making it a special holiday. Our thoughts will be with all three of you. You'll feel the love radiate from all of us as we will feel it from you. Stay together and take care of each other as we will here. God Bless each and every one of us. Merry Christmas.

Love you all more than ever!!!
Lizzie

Hi Citi and Jeudi,
I miss you lots. I'm crying because I was listening to two songs that remind me of you and Uncle Dale- Lady in Red and the song my mom dedicated to her brother, He ain't heavy...Citi, please say hi to me soon, tell me you're here!
I hope you're having a good time and come visit me soon. I love you,
Enessa

Well you finally have one of your children with you now he will fill you in on all the craziness that has been happening I am sure you know all ready.I hope you are ok and I know you will be happy to have him ...your first born!Dont worry Lori and the kids will be fine and in time we will heal. We love you GOD BLESS YOU!

Sitti & Jeudi,
Please take care of my dad. I miss him so much. I am consoled by the fact that he knew the point to where my life had come. He knew I'd be seeing him soon, and he was happy. He was so happy I was coming home. I know he's not sick anymore and he's going to a good place with you. I miss you both, I miss you dad. You will always be with me wherever I go, whatever I do. Thank you for your love and support with wherever my life took me.
Love Melyssa

Imie and Beyee:
Keep us in your prayers. Guide us with your wisdom. Look after our Dale who is now home with you. Help us to understand this turn of events. Ask God through your intervention to bless Lori and the kids and help them to get through these next few days. This a time that I call upon my faith to get me through. Why Dale? Why now? I guess God has a plan as He does for all of us. We love you Dale, Imie and Beyee...big hugs to Alice and Arnold.
Love always,
Sharon

Hi Imie and Beyee:
Enessa and I love you both, and your son Dale is now with you. I don't have much else to say because there are no words to express how sad I am, but I know you will be welcoming your first born and he will be happy. Missing you and my brother now and forever.

Love,
Marlene (and Enessa)

I do not even know what to say or write or anything at this point except this: You both called in home with the Good Lord and now you have your first born with you again. So many of us are in shock, but for me, the only part I have come to terms with so far is that my eldest brother, your oldest son, is ok because he is with both of you. Now we have all of you as guardian angels watching over us. Writing to you is the only other thing, besides keeping my little angel close to me, that is keeping me calm and strong. I didn't understand before about being strong and staying stable at times like this when you have a child to take care of, but in all honesty she is what's keeping me together and stable. Dale, I miss you very much and I have your photo of you holding Peyton when she was born at the hospital, on her dresser, and we pray and have him in our hearts as we always did and will forever. The last thing I remember is you holding my little girl Dale and running with her in the parking lot at the wedding at midnight and she was laughing so hard. Thank you for that wonderful, happy memory and I will see you when I am called home.
Love from our hearts to yours
Elaine and Peyton

Goodmorning Siti and Jeudi. I'm one today, and I know you are looking down from Heaven with big birfday wishes, kisses and hugs for me. There will be lots of family and friends and kids here today to have fun with me. Thank you for having momma so she could have me. Always in my prayers,
love your Grandaughter,
xoxo
Peyton

Hi Siti and Jeudi, hi Imie and Baie, Happy Thanksgiving! My prayers I say every night and morning and you are in them always, especially today. I'm thankful that you had my momma so she could have me. Oh how I would have loved to see the gatherings that used to be held during holidays like today at momma's old house. Momma made them sound like a fun time. We'll have fun today at aunt Jackie's and think of you both while we are there so you can be right there with us. I gave your photo a big kiss this morning. We love you both very much.

xoxo
Peyton and Momma

God bless you Imie. Enessa and I are doing well--healthy, which is important--although there are always challenges. You'd freak out at some of them.

I just wanted to leave a short note saying I miss you and there's an emptiness that won't go away. But you would be proud of what you've created.

Kiss Beyee for me and I'll write soon.

Love,
Marlene (and Enessa)

Every day, especially today we pray to both of you to always watch over us, and pray for us to be ok and safe. We know both of you are ok now that you are safe in Heaven, but we need you both to continue to be our guardian angels. We love you both very much, and 2 years have gone by Imie, but it's been much longer since we actually had you healthy and here with us, but now we wouldn't change anything knowing you are both living life so peaceful in Heaven. I know that waking to Peyton this morning, and knowing what today is, I couldn't have been more blessed because I was so fortunate to see you too! More and more each day, I see you in her, her manners, the way she looks at me, the way she sits, everything!!! She leaned on my chest in her nursery for about 45 minutes when she woke, so she definitely knew what today is as well, a day where we think of you more often, yet mostly the good days you had here, and how much we love both of you! We'll write soon.
All our Love
Elaine, Kim and Peyton

It will be 2 years tomorrow that you left us my heart still aches but I know you are in a better place I love you and baie and I miss you both vary much !
Love always Sheila & frankie.XOXO

Wow, the summer is almost done and kids are going back to school! Jacob will be starting his first school year, he's grown so much, a handsome young man, you'd be pround! We all miss both of you more than words can express. We know you can see all that is going on with our lives, but the selfish part of us wish you were both here to physically see everything and guide us as you once did so very well. But seeing you both sick again puts us back into reality that heaven is a better place and took all of your sickness away.
Peyton is double digits today. Ten months young! Hard to believe that I have a little girl, that I am a mom, let alone one that is almost already a year young!!! Imie, she looks more and more like her Siti every day, but Baie, she has her Jeudi's your eyes. I noticed this the other day, sitting on the grass in the backyard on a beautiful summer's evening and watching her look up at the trees, birds and planes. She definitely has your eyes!!! You often wonder what they think and see thru their eyes, when they are looking at a part of nature, people, or anything new or old in life for that matter. But when she looks at me, what I see, is both of you and when I look at or see or hear from any of the grandchildren, you both are in them as well.
So very fortunate to be able to write and talk to both of you through this book and everyday of my life.
Peyton automatically turns to your photo at night just after saying her prayers with her bunny, and says her goodnite to both of you as well. Then the snoopy mobile! It's our routine before bed!
We love you both and we'll write soon.
God Bless!

Hi Imie and Beyee:
Just a short note to say I'm thinking of you as always. It's been a beautiful summer and am sorry you're not here to enjoy it with us.

Things aren't the same without you!
Love
Marlene

Imie and Bayee:
Daniel will be 19 tomorrow. Remember when he was so late being born? Tim is at university studying. Two university grads (hopefully). We think of you every day.
Love you.
Sharon

Hi Imie and Bayee
I know I haven't written in a while, but I think about you both every single day. I miss you so much. My visits to the cemetary give me so much peace because I know you're both fine. As you can see everyone is doing well. You and beyee looking over us as well as God means so much and is getting everyone through any obstacles in the way. All the grandkids are good. Enessa and Daniel are doing great at school, Lisa has started a new life and Peyton is beautiful. She looks so much like you it's amazing. Continue to watch over us as there are more trying times ahead(that's life). Everyone sends all their love!!!

Love lizzie

Hi Imie and Baie. It's been a while since we have written. We know you are relaxing and worry and care free in Heaven, but yet still look have a big job to look over all of us here on Earth. We are all very blessed to have you and Aunt Roufa and the Good Lord watching over us. Happy Father's Day to you Baie and as always on these special days we miss both of you more so than ever. Life becomes very busy and is a viscious circle at times and all we can do is pray each day and at those times slow down and remember how fortunate and blessed we are to have each other in our lives and here to watch over each other as well. Peyton and I went to the cemetary for a visit today and prayers, but we do those daily. She feels both of you every day and when saying her prayers at night, gives both of you a kiss with your picture by her crib. We had some of the family her today for a celebration bbq as Peyton graduated College from her swimming session, Starfish, but I'm sure you know this already. She is healthy and growing fast, almost 8 months now! It was so nice to have some of the family together and wish all the family to be together. Enjoy the photo and we love you. God Bless us all.

xoxo
Kim, Elaine and Peyton

Missing you as always on this mothers day happy early birthday to you and Baie.
I love you both.
Love your daughter Sheila.

Hi Imie:
Thinking of you and Beyee on Mother's Day. Enessa and I miss you so much.

Enessa is in Quebec studying for five weeks of French on a bursary. You would be so proud of her. She is studying in Windsor and is doing great--straight A's. Just wish she could have been there at the same time as you.

I know you would be proud of all your grandkids.

Happy coming birthday to you and Beyee as well, and I will be in Windsor soon to see you.
Love,
Your daughter,
Marlene

Happy Mother's Day Imie:

It is not the same now that both you and my Mom are gone. But special memories are with us always. And now Imie, Peyton is a constant reminder of your smile.

Love you.
Sharon

It's so hard to believe that it is Mother's Day once again and another year has gone by. Not one moment goes by without thinking about you and especially now because of the little miracle that was sent to me, I see you every minute of every day. You were reborn through my little girl, and what a blessing it is. Thank you for being my Imie and now for the first time, Peyton's Siti. So Happy 1st Siti's Day and Happy Mother's Day with all our love from us to you in Heaven. You are our Angels, both of you, Imie and Baie.
Thank-you both for having my momma so she could have me!
Oh yes, and Happy 1st early Birthday wish from me too!
My momma says they are on the same day, May 15th, sooo special!

Until we write soon
All our love, looking up to you in Heaven,
Peyton and Momma

Sitti & Jeudi,
I'm doing a Family Tree! I'm so excited to find out all about where you come from and the extent of family I have I don't even know about!
Thank you so much for the influences you've had in my life. I was very small when I spent most of my time at your home but I remember my times there vividly!
I still think about you both often and I will let you know how the Family Tree is going.
Love Melyssa

Hi Imie and Beyee:
Another Easter without you, but the memories of gakee (hope I spelled that right), egg hunts and Beyee zipping in and out of the house from his cab to grab a bite are still alive. Miss you both this holiday and always. Wish you were still here. It's not the same without you two.
Love, Marlene (and Enessa)

Dear Siti and Jeudi, this is Peyton. I am 5 months young today and I am growing sooo fast. My mommys say that I look more and more like my Siti every day. I look at your's and Jeudi's photo every morning and at night before I go to sleep as I am saying my prayers. I got my first tooth coming thru and I know how to sit up, turn on my side and I am almost crawling too! I know you watch over me all the time. Auntie Natalie tells me that too. I know you are both very healthy and happy and I guess I just wanted to let you know that I am doing just fine here and just wanted to make sure that you and Jeudi and Aunt Rouffa are doing ok too. A love note from me to you, and I will write soon.

xoxo
Peyton
P.S. I know you can see me, but her is a picture as a keepsake

Hi Citi,
I'm thinking about you now. I'll talk to you later in private, but I want to say hello. How is everything? I went to a concert yesterday for piano and organ, it was a beautiful performance. I went out for dinner with Aunt Liz and Tony today and they took me for grocery shopping. Now, I'm taking care of my friend who is sick and doing work for school. I love you too much. I can't stop thinking about you, I wish you were here.
Love always, Enessa
P.S I miss you too Jeudi.

Immie and Baie:

How proud you should be of Enessa and Daniel who are in university and away from home. Enessa has such a gift for foreign language and Dan loves film. And Peyton is the image of you Immie. All of your grandchildren miss you and love you. We miss you. I missed you more the day of Dad's funeral. Daniel said that he is so sad that after Grandpa he has no more living grandparents. All of you are in heaven now. Pray for all of us.
Love you.
Sharon

Kiefek Citi & Kiefuhk Jeudi, Je vous manque. Aujoud'hui, j'ai fait une presentation pour ma classe de francais, j'ai recu 17 sur 20. Votre frere Mike dit bonjour, et aussi haalie Adel. Je passe, des fois, des soirs avec tante Hoda et Haalie Adel. Je les adore. La famille prend soins de moi. Ma nouvelle cousine, Peyton est adorable. Elle est hellueh! Je l'appelle Tepbrini et aussi Habibi ou bien Habibte. Qu'est-ce que c'est la difference? J'apprends lentement l'arabee. Haalie Mike dit "Ya allah" tous les jours. C'est tellement drole. Sylvana est formidable, nous sommes tellement proche maintenant apres votre mort. S'il vous plait, me rendre visite bientot...j'ai besoin de vous voir, je ferai du the et si vous me direz quand vous viendriez, je ferai des biscuits pour nous. Jeudi, je ne peux pas vous dire combien j'ai besoin de vous, vous etiez tellement gentil et aimable. Mais vous etes encore la pour moi, je sais; sinon je ne serai pas aussi formidable. Mwa. Je vous aime.
Tant d'amour.
pour toujours.
Votre petite-fille,
enessa

Hi Imie,

I just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how much everybody misses you and Baie.

And to let you know how proud you'd be of Enessa now. She's doing very well adjusting to University life. Lizzie and I are helping her however we can, knowing how tough it can be to be studying so far from home. But, she's doing very well, studying and working hard. We know her efforts will be handsomely rewarded.

It was nice talking to you again Imie. Bye for now.

Hi Imie and Beyee
Another Christmas has come and gone. Not having you with us was difficult as always, but we got through it. We had a wonderful holiday as you know, having the family together was great. Even though there are the same squabbles as always, it was still a special time. You know me, I love being with everyone no matter what. I love you both very much and I pray that you keep looking down on us and make the upcoming year one of love and health. I pray for all of us everyday and I know God will take good care of all your sons and daughters. You're both in my heart now and always.

lizzie

Hi Imie and Beyee:

I am think of both of you especially today--of Beyee and how he was always so busy driving cab on Christmas, and Imie at home waiting for all of us kids to shower her with gifts, and for her to watch her grandkids especially open their presents.

Enessa and I have had a quiet but enjoyable Christmas so far--we went for brunch and are resting our bellies before going skating and then for a workout downtown.

Enessa and I miss you two so much. The holidays aren't the same without you, but we're making do.

Enessa is doing great in school--you'd be proud of her.

I know you're watching down on us.

With love always,

Marlene and Enessa

Missing you as always this holiday season! We love you and miss you very much! Happy Holidays!

Hi Imie and Baie, it's been a long time since writing. I'm sure you are both enjoying Heaven and being more happier and healthier than ever. As you both know, on Oct.28,06 at 6:56 am my life took a big and wonderful change for the better, a blessed little miracle was born,your new Granddaughter! Imie, when you were ill and I was trying to become pregnant, God felt that I had another responsibility to fullfill at that time and so miraculously I became pregnant in the new year, but sadly after your passing! We all know that He does not give us more than we can handle. But Imie and Baie, it is fate because this beautiful little miracle is a reincarnation of you Imie, and how amazing it is. There is also a big part of you in her, Baie, because you are both in me. Thank-you for praying with me and with God for me to become pregnant and for blessing Kim and I with a child!Having a family is unbelievable, so thank-you for having me so I could have this life experience. Now, this holiday season, it will still be extremely difficult to celebrate without you both, as it is each year, but we have a new reason to stay healthy and happy ourselves, because of Peyton Violet Soulliere, an angel sent from above as a sign from both of you. This little girl has put a smile on our family's faces whom she has met thus far, or from the pictures we sent out, and I know you are smiling down upon her right now. We love you very much, miss you lots and think of you always.

God Bless
love from our family
Kim, Elaine
and
Peyton

Hi Imie (and Beyee):
Another year and the first year without you Imie. Many of us kids shared thoughts of you and Beyee at the cemetery where you two are lying peacefully, and the one thing that stands out is that despite the tears and grieving that all of us are still doing, we have parts of you in all of us--especially your senses of humour.

Although the tree-planting service on the weekend was thoughtful, it didn't come close to reflecting what you both deserve as a tribute to you two for enduring such a hard life and raising us.

Thanks again for bringing us into this world--I don't think many of us expressed those thanks to you when you were alive.

Another year, and the first year without you Imie. But Enessa and I won't let time wash away our thoughts of you.

Love always,
Marlene (and Enessa)

Imie
I can't believe it's been a year. It doesn't seem any easier than it was that awful day last September when we find out you passed away. Everything makes me think of you and coping is hard, but I try to get by. Sunday was so beautiful being with you and Beyee and my brothers and sisters and remebering all the wonderful times we had. Life was rough, but thinking back there was so much good as well. Thanks to both of you, we're who we are today. I love you both very much and you'll always be with me!

Hi Imie and Beyee:

Well, Enessa is now close to you. Your granddaughter is now living in Windsor and attending university, and I'm sad that you both can't be there watching her through that important stage in her life. But I know she will visit you often; I will be down in less than two weeks for your tree-planting ceremony Imie. I miss you both very, very much. But I am comforted that my daughter is by your sides.

See you soon.

Love,

Marlene

Dear Immie and Bayee:



Well, Daniel will graduate high school this year and on to McMaster. I know that you will be looking down on the Hershey Centre on June 29th with big smiles as one of your grandchildren crosses a major hurdle in life with smiles and confidence. Every time Daniel wrote an exam over the years, he takes the little yellow cab you gave him Bayee, into the exam to give him confidence. As he left this morning to write yet another exam, the cab went with him. Your legacy and love lives on in your grand children. You are missed, especially yesterday, Father's Day. Just know that George is the best father...kind, patient, disciplined with a strong work ethic which is a fine example to his children. Miss you.

Sharon

It has been a while since writing and my life has changed so much. I remember you every day, but mother's day was especially a difficult one. Happy belated mother's day and to you Baie, Happy father's day, and now you can both look down at all 14 of your accomplishments and be proud parents together! Also, Happy Jeudi and Siti day love all your Grandchildren and your Great Grandchild. Oh and a special Happpy Siti and Jeudi day from the love of your unborn new Grandchild on his or her way in November! But I'm sure you knew that already.



I love you both and thank-you for giving us all each other and what a beautiful family you both created!

Dear Imie and Beyee:

It's May 15 and that's the day you both have listed as your birthdays. Even though it may not be your real birthdays, Enessa and I are thinking of you both today. Mother's Day wasn't the same without you Imie. Enessa and I drove to brunch and I said to her that this is the first day we haven't been able to call and wish Sitie a Happy Mother's Day.



We love you both, and will remember you forever.



Love,

Marlene and Enessa

Happy birthday Immie and Baie:)

XOXOXO

Happy mothers day Immie I love you!

Immie,



Well, I'm moving again. In 2 weeks I'll be Cincinnati. I'm telling you this, because I know how much you LOVE new houses. I guess that's one of the things I picked up from you - beautiful ceramic in the corner - BRAND NEW ALWAYS :) It's a blessing and a curse I guess. With the standard you would always set - I'm always focused on a new place :)



There are still some over whelming days when it's hard to believe you're gone. We just received another estate check - seeing your name on it was very sad. Almost shocking.



Thanks for watching over me during my move. Love you always,



Michael

Another month has begun,and time goes on, but one thing that stays the same is my love for both of you. I miss you both terribly and wish every day we can go back in time, but that's impossible. I pray everyday that you're both together watching over all of us. I feel your presence around me and know that you're both guiding all of us through daily life. You'll always be in my heart now and forever. I love you very very much.



Your daughter

Immie-6 months has passed since you left us and the pain of losing you has not eased!! My heart aches for you every day. I miss you so much but I know you are now in a better place. The day's are getting easier but not a day goes by that I wish you were still with us. I'll try to be happy for you Immie since I know you are happy again to be with your true love !! It's what you've always wanted.

Anyway, Immie,Baie I love you and miss you always !

GOD BLESS YOU MY ANGELS!

Love your daughter Sheila(Frank)

Dear Imie:

Just thinking of you today and feeling a big void. Enessa and I love you and think of you and Beyee often. Missing a big part of us!

Love,

Marlene

Missing you both during the holiday season. I know you are here with us always. Loving and missing you so much.

Good morning Imie and Baie, as you know it's Christ's birthday, Christmas morning at 12:38 a.m. and, wow, I couldn't wait to wake up and be with our family when I was little, and now so much has changed. I will be waking up alone today, but then will remember that you both are looking down at all of us and the lonliness will disappear. All I want to do is work this weekend, and help those to get healthier so next year they can be home for Christmas instead of in the hospital, but also to keep busy because this time around, it's so very difficult to be joyous. It will sink in soon that you are both together and very happy to be a couple again, and free from all illness, but at the same time, the feeling of emptiness sinks in as well. I know this holiday will be very emotional for everyone, but the poem from both of you, given to us by Dale, really brought tears and a smile to my face.



Merry Christmas to you both.

Love from deep inside

Elaine

Dear Imie and Beyee:

We will be thinking of you constantly this holiday. It won't be the same without you. I hope you are both resting in peace, and watching down on all of us in the family as we celebrate both your lives and the lives you gave us, during the holidays and forever.



Love always and longing to have you here again,

Marlene and Enessa

Immie:

Merry Christmas from Daniel, Sarah, Tim, George and me. We will say a special prayer for you at church Christmas Eve and remember your laugh and smile.

We hope that 2006 brings all of us happiness, love, laughter and blessings from God.

We love you and remember you every day.

Sharon

im very sorry for everyones loss. Im sure they lost a very good person, and im sure shes looking down on you guys and giving you a helping hand. She misses you as much as you miss her, and i know she loves you dearly like you love her

Sitti i love you soo much and miss you. I remember when we all went to your apartment for easter one year and you made the sugarless donuts haha. As much as they were not very tasty, they were good becasue you made them. By the way that was also they day it was decided i was a Red Wings Fan so without you that wouldent have been posible! Thanks for everything you ever gave me. I love you Sitti.

Sitti, I remember coming to your house when I was little. I think I got my love of food from you! I remember your wonderful food and the smells when I walked in. I know why I never let anyone leave my house until they have something to eat or at least something to drink. It's because you taught me that food is a sign of welcome and sharing. It's how I tell people they can come over anytime and feel welcome, just like you taught me. Thank you for your love and the memories you have created for me.

Love Melyssa

Dear Aunt Violet,



It’s so hard to believe you’re gone You were one of the only aunts I ever knew. Then came the time were uncle Louie died almost 13 years ago. You missed him from day one. The smile on your face when we went to visit you was incredible you always lit up. And I remember your voice as you would say “ I love you to Aumte,” and then you would give me a kiss and say goodbye. I love you and miss you so much -grateful for the time u spent here on earth with us. ur smile always brought me joy- we know your watching above us all in Heaven.

sitti... i love you with all of my heart!, i miss you so much! i dont know what to say i mean i read all of our family's messages and they all made me cry. I hope that all of us can stay strong for you, because i know thats what you wanted. It's just hard to realize that your gone, i mean it didnt really hit me until i saw you for the last time..., butt sitti you will always be in our hearts forever and ever!, i love you so much!



thank you sitti... thank you
