Condolence: My dearest mother...
I have loved your twinkling eyes, ever-ready smile & warm hugs all of my life. I am so blessed to have been your only daughter. You gave up so much for me when I was born just so I could walk & I will always appreciate your unselfishness strength & determination, I’m sure it couldn’t have been easy.
Growing up in our family was wonderful, long after I moved out my friends still stopped in to see you & dad, you were so special!
I will forever remember coming home from school each day to you & your home baking ...raised doughnuts with a bowl of sugar, your amazing poppy seed buns & cinnamon rolls, all made with love - I was so fortunate.
I will cherish every moment we spent together. We grew even closer while we visited Dad almost every day together when he was hospitalized at the end, lots of laughing and crying together……
You were always so incredibly lucky; you enjoyed many wonderful happy moments & gracefully endured many tragedies in your 91-½ years.
You told me many times how lonely you were without Dad & questioned why so many of the family from Ontario had already passed. You wondered why God kept you so long - I was so thankful he did.
I can just imagine you & dad holding hands once again & that makes me smile. You had so many others who were waiting for you up there including your first born, my dear brother Arnold, who I’m sure missed you so much.
I am eternally grateful that you went quickly & peacefully, on your own terms, surrounded by your loving family.
You were always an angel in my eyes, but I'm sure you're a real Angel now.
I will miss you forever my sweet mother, until we meet again!
Your loving daughter, Sharon xoxoxo

Condolence: I am so sorry to hear of Rose's passing. I first met Rose in Feb, 2006 on my first day of work as a Personal Support Worker. She had just come home from Hospital after her open heart surgery and needed help with activities of daily living. As Roses health improved Bills' began to decline and so I became a regular visitor to their home 3 days a week to care for both of them. I continued to care for Rose after Bills passing, up until she moved to Oshawa, Ont. Rose and Bill had become very dear friends of mine throughout the years.I remember Bill would lay upstairs on the sofa playing old tunes on his harmonica while I helped Rose with her bath. I attended both their 60th and 65th wedding anniversary celebrations. I've met their children, whom they admitted to be very proud of loved dearly. Rose attended my wedding in Dec. 2012 and I was pleased to have her say grace before our dinner. Rose has touched the hearts of so many people with her kind and generous ways. She shared her recipe for gingerbread cookies with me and I bake them every year around Christmas time. Since moving out of the area I've not had the opportunity to visit her as often as I'd have liked, but we did keep in touch by phone occasionally. Although I will not be there for her Memorial Service, Rose's memory will remain forever in my heart.
Hugs to her family, Barbara Evans White, P.S.W.
I have posted a picture taken Aug 2015.
