Mom… your death has made me realize that every single second we spent together, I wasted an opportunity to tell you how much I loved you. I wish I could take back every pain and worry that I ever gave you. I wish that I could just undo, all the moments that made you sad. I was lucky to have you with me everyday for the last 15 months. I keep waiting to hear the microwave slam, hear the TV at all hours (lol). I will miss you mom and know how much I love you. All I want to believe in is that you are now running through the grass towards your kids and never having to stop to catch your breath, xoxo

Dear Colleen and family, My deepest condolences and heartfelt sadness for the loss of your mom. May God give you all strength in the coming days, weeks, months and years to follow. May your many memories sustain you during this time. I pray you will find some peace in knowing she is with our Lord. Her losses were great, she is now soaring with angels and will forever be with you in your hearts and watching over you. Although a sad time for you I know your Celebration of her Life on earth will be touching and reminiscent of the great woman she was. I'm sorry I won't be able to be there for you and to give you a big hug , but know that you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless. Pam

Aunt Yvonne, always one of my favourite people. A truly good person with a kind soul. Funny the things you fondly remember about people. For me, it was sitting around in the kitchen at our place on Hancock Crescent in Scarborough. Aunt Yvonne, my mom and us kids, just sitting around talking. Telling stories of growing up. Passing the time. Thinking of you all, Paul.
