So sad to hear of Wanda’s passing. We will always remember her with a smile on her face. She was a sweet woman with a gentle and loving soul. I will always remember the look she gave when Bill was acting silly.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Wanda we will miss her so very much. The wonderful times we have had, the giggles and smiles both Wanda and Bill have brought to our lives is unforgettable. We will cherish the time we got to spend with them forever. Our sympathy to all of Wanda’s precious family that she was very proud of. We adored Wanda and feel very Blessed to have had her in our lives. Hugs and Love to all!
Our sympathies go out to all. Thinking of you Paul and Bunny, Brad and Lori, Greg and Anissa, James and Melanie and all the Grandkids who loved her dearly. Wanda was a kind and special lady. Always chatting with us and our family whenever we were all together. Making us feel at home when both our families were gathering. We will always remember her with fondness. Barb and Bob McEachnie
I am so sorry to hear about Wanda. Memories of Bill and Wanda in Ripley – and later London – will always be with me. My sympathy goes to you Paul and Bunny and your entire family.
I am so sorry to hear about Wanda’s passing. She was a wonderful woman who was always dressed to the nines and enjoyed every moment. My fondest memories with her would have to be summer afternoons out in the back garden enjoying the shade and of course Fridays at Grand Wood Park’s Wine and Cheese and overhearing her brag about her children, grandchildren and of course her great grandchildren. She was so incredibly proud of all of you and truly cherished your visits. I will always remember her beautiful smile. Thinking of you in this difficult time.
Paul and Family. We were sorry to learn of Wanda’s death. We have many good memories of being in her company. I enjoyed phoning her for a chat,as she always made me laugh! Our thoughts and prayers are with the Harris family at this sad time. Don and Ann Thompson.
Though nothing can bring back the hour
of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind.
I am so sorry to learn of Mrs. Harris’s passing today. She has always held a special place in my heart and memories starting 45 years ago when I was only 5 years old! My family and yours were neighbours. I was just home from the hospital and Mrs. Harris brought me a get well gift of a McCoy pottery smiley face mug, which I still have and cherish to this day. Your mom was a wonderful friend to my mom and although I have not had the pleasure of seeing her in some time, I do know that she will be missed. My sincerest condolences to you all. Margaret Aziz & family
My sincere condolences Harris Family! Mrs. Harris had been my Grandma Next Door from the time I was as small as a grasshopper. I will forever, and often still remember, all the wonderful moments spent with her and Mr. Harris. The Christmas eves spent with my dad playing the guitar and Mrs. Harris playing the piano (with me sitting beside her on the bench)! How we loved to sing and laugh. I have many wonderful memories at their place. And I always loved watching Mrs. Harris’ garden grow! The kind, warm heart of Mrs. Harris will never be forgotten in the hearts of the Sewers Family from next door! Our love and prayers go out to you all! Forever in our hearts, Dale Sewers, Tara Sewers, and Debbie Lear!
Remembering your Birthday I miss you hugs and lots of love.
