Condolences

I am sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. I have fond memories of our days when we were tennis partners at Hillcrest Village tennis club. She also had gymnastic outfits made for my daughter Christine who went to school with Dana. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time 💜

Dana and Laura, our sincerest condolences on the loss of your mom. She was a big part of our life in the neighbourhood, and never hesitated to open her door to us, either on Michael Drive or in Norway Bay. We have many great memories of the time spent together with all of you. It can be so hard to say goodbye to a parent and we're thinking of you at this time. Sending our love and hugs.
Fran, Kim and Andrea

Mrs. Labrie,
We will always miss those wonderful days when you would welcome all of us to your wonderful home and your joy and energy will always be remembered by fellow AY Jackson Alumni's. You have raised two wonderful and beautiful daughters and Dana and Laurie will always be a true reflection of you and you will be missed. May You Rest in Peace Mrs. Labrie.

I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing, Dana and Laurie. Hugs to both of you. I have fond memories of Judie from a lifelong friendship at Norway Bay. She will be missed.

So sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. We never pass the green cottage without thinking of Judy. Full of sunshine and smiles. Deepest sympathy.

I am saddened to hear the news of Judie's passing. Although it has been many years since I have seen Judie I shall never forget her Friendship, Mentorship and Fairness as a Figure Skating Judge. For many years we spent a lot of time together. Sincere condolences to Dana, Laurie and Mark. May Judie Rest In Peace. With Fond Memories, Jacqui Hyland Pugh

Sad to hear of your mom’s passing. My sister and I as well as all the girl’s from Graham Street have many fond memories visiting Hermit’s Rest and the back cabin boutique for a Mrs. Labrie bathing suit! A summer at the Bay would not be complete without a new suit for the summer! Hugs to you both!

Dana and Laurie,
So sorry to hear about the death of your mother. I have many fond memories- skiing, birthday celebrations, Christmas dinner, shopping at the basement swim suit boutique. Hugs to both of you. Sandy Sokol.

I was sorry to hear of Judie's passing. I will never forget Judie's generosity to me and everyone else on the A.Y. Jackson staff. She invited us to her house so often I cannot count. Judie lived a very short distance from the school and during times of teacher job action or strikes, she opened her doors to our staff, encouraging us to hold meetings at her house. When we were required to picket, she encouraged the picketers to use her house for breaks and refreshments. She often had coffee and snacks available on rainy or cool days. She also hosted many staff parties at her house which started at 4:30 and ended as Judie often said "whenever I get tired and ready for bed. Judy was able to laugh off so many stressful situations despite the fact that she and her daughters had a busy life of their own. Judie made those days so memorable for us all...and all the students at A.Y. adored her!
