Condolences

Chris & family, Condolences on the passing of your Mom. We will always remember her at Christmas morning breakfasts. She was a wonderful lady. Memories are golden

Thinking of you at this time of loss. The stories we would hear from you now and then Martha made us aware that your mother was of strong character with a good sense of humour! May joyous memories of your mother, grandmother comfort you as you say goodbye to your loved one. Wishing you peace,
Elizabeth & Tim West

I am sorry I won't be able to attend the service but wanted to let the family know that all of my family (Mom, Me, Mike and Jim) are thinking about all of you at this time and hope your memories will always be strong in your hearts

Dear Pat and all the family,
Sincere sympathy to you all in the passing of your dear Mom. She was such a lovely lady; I remember her so fondly - so gracious and warm, especially with babies and little ones. I believe she was working on the OBS floor when our children were born, and I remember how beautifully she handled babies. And what a wonderful family of her own she had. A true matriarch - setting a very high standard of a life well lived. Sincere sympathy to all your wonderful and large family, from both of us, Pat and Richard Poole
