    Nancy and Rick and families, we are very sorry to hear of Irma’s passing. We lived next door to Bob and Irma on Sorrel Rd. for 7 years. We will never forget Irma – both she and Bob were always the kindest people. Irma always had a Christmas gift for our 2 daughters, and she gave them lots of ice cream. When we moved (2001), I can still remember Irma standing on their front porch and both of us crying. She had just been diagnosed with Alzheimers, and she was upset to have to try and get to know new neighbours.

    We are thinking of all of you, and will be sharing the wonderful memories we have of Irma with our friends and family that also knew her.

    Dave, Liz, Lindsay and Rachel

    Nancy, Dave and family,
    Just wanted you to know that you are in our thoughts. Just as your Mom has left you with many wonderful memories, I am sure you provided her with much joy and more recently, comfort. Hopefully she has passed along the wonderful courage and humour she exhibited over the course of the last few years, to help you deal with her loss.
    Sincerely, Gale and John

    Dear Nancy & Rick:
    My sincere sympathy to you and your families. Your Mom was my best friend fom the time we were little. Time and distance separated us but our friendship remained strong. I will miss not being able to pick up the phone and hear her voice even when she really couldn’t carry on a conversation. I will always remember her hearty laugh and her smile.

    May God grant her eternal happiness!

    Glsdys.
