Dear Janet, Susan, David and Julie
It was very sad to hear of your Mom’s passing.
I always enjoyed hearing from her in a Christmas card, or a call in the summer when she was vacationing at Sauble Beach. She did stay in some interesting cottages.Sometimes she would roll her eyes about her accomodations, but never a complaint.
I am so glad we shared a family barbecue last year, at our cottage. That is a nice memory for Tom and I.
Your Mom was so dedicated to keeping in touch with her family, and I hope you honour her memory by keeping close now that both your parents have passed.
Take care, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time in your lives.
Julia and Tom

Dear Julie,
I wish we could be there with you today. I hope you know we’re there with you in spirit and that you’re in our prayers.
You are such a strong and dedicated mother. Your character and integrity are a living testament to your mother and how well she guided and inspired you. I’m honoured and grateful to have met her and witnessed the bond she shared with Keegan.
You and your family are in our hearts during this very difficult time.
With love, David, Janice & Bennett

Dear Susan, Jan, Julie and David and families.
I was saddened to hear about the loss of your mother – she will be missed. I looked forward to seeing your parents once a year when they visited at Sauble Beach and always drove to Tobermory to say hello to family and that included me. Your mom was a kind hearted woman and will be missed by family and friends and especially you four.
Aunt Dorothy, you will be greatly missed by all. I’m sure you never knew how many peoples lives you truly affected. I love you….

Dear Julie,Susan,Jan and David
My sincerest sympathy to all of you in the loss of your dear mom. We can take comfort in knowing her and Ev are together once again, making beautiful music in heaven. You had two very fine examples of how one should try to live their lives and I know they are proud of you all. Extra hugs to little Keegan, who I know misses them both so very much. love Ronalee
