Dear Jack & Family:
So very sorry to hear about Trix’s illness and passing. My heart is breaking for all of you. Trix was one of the beautiful people in my life.
Dear Christie and family, Dave, Carson and Avery
Trix was always so lovely and kind to me and my family over the years when we saw her. She had the loveliest things to say about my mom the last time we spoke. She was truly a special lady. We wish you comfort and love for the days going forward. May the memories you have of your mom and grandma give you strength to carry on and smile when you think of her.
Love, Peggy, Steve and Madison
Our deepest sympathy to Stan and Wilma and their whole extended family.

Trixie was a wonderful friend and a great neighbor… When living out on the 6th she was my inspiration to get out and walk. She would call me or id call her and we would kick each other in the butt even if one of us didn’t feel like walking.. It was our time to chat. Trix will be fondly remembered and sadly missed… Our condolences
Love, The Hillier Family.

Dear Christie, Dave, Carson and Avery:
I am so sorry to learn of the death of your mother Christie. It has been a difficult struggle over the past few months for your mother and for all of you with the loss of those you love.
Although I did not know your mother, I can see in her picture a beautiful lady and the reflection of her in you Christie.
Your sadness is being shared in my heart today.
Caring thoughts,

Dear Jack, Mark, Christie and Tyler,
My thoughts are with you and your families. We were blessed to know and enjoy friendship with Trix.
Trix was a wonderful welcoming person with a huge heart. I have lovely memories of much time spent at the Denney household in elementary and high school. My condolences to all of the family. Her presence will be missed.
We are so sorry for your loss. Such a nice mom to put up with us crashing at her house with our late nights during high school years. Will always remember our last visit when her & Jack came up to the lake for a steak supper at our place with Mark & MB and the kids. Such a wonderful woman that we will always remember.
Jack, Mark, Christie, Tyler and families, we are so very sorry for your loss, Trix was a great lady and will be missed greatly. Hold close to your memories.
Jack, Christie, Mark, Tyler and families, Murray and I want to send our sincere condolences on Trix’s death.
We listened to the service late yesterday. It is always so nice to hear family history. Her siblings will miss their baby sister, and all of you can hardly imagine how much you will miss her too. Hold your wonderful memories close and cherish them. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincere condolences for your loss. I have fond memories of helping on occasion with chores and your mom giving good instructions. The welcoming home to hang out during our high school years was much appreciated.
To the Denney family my deepest sympathy with the loss of Trix.My thought and prays are there for you.Joost.
To the Denney and Winkel Families,
I am so sad to hear about my old friend Truus/Trix. Although it has been many, many years since we spoke, she was and always will be a treasured memory from my childhood days.
My sincerest condolences to Jack and your children, and to all the Winkel brothers and sisters. I know she will be greatly missed.
I am so sorry to learn of Trix’s death. For many years Trix was the only other person in my grade at SS#12. We spent many hours learning together and in the schoolyard. Then, in high school, Jack’s attractively lit pickup began rolling down the 2nd. These are fond memories from many years ago. My sincere condolences to Jack, family and the extended Winkel family on your loss.
Jack and Family, I am so sorry to see that Trix has passed. She was a wonderful friend to me for many years and I missed her a great deal when I moved to NB. We didn’t speak often after I moved, but we always picked up just where we had left off as if no time had ever passed. I have so many great memories of getting together for lunches and dinners and always laughing over something. I hope your memories of happy days can carry you through this sad time. I will miss my friend.
As I watched the funeral service I thought to myself that Trix would have been appreciative of the kind, thoughtful and loving tributes to her, a reflection of her life. She was a dear dear friend, a loving person, great listener, devoted to her family and generous to a fault. I miss her and will enjoy the multitude of wonderful memories that we made over the years. My sincere condolences to her amazing family. We were all so blessed to have had her part of our lives!
On behalf of Ian, James and Audrey, our condolences to Jack, Christie, Mark and Tyler as well as spouses and grandchildren. My dad also wanted me to extend his condolences to the family. He fondly remembers taking Trix along on an Anderson family holiday down the St Lawrence River.
