Sandy - It is so very difficult to lose your Mom. I am terribly sorry I didn't know of your Moms passing until today. After almost ten years I still "talk" with my Mom everyday. I know you will continue to feel her presence and love.

David, Ben and I would like to express our condolences in the passing of Jean. She and Frank were always the best of neighbors. We regret that we didn't get to attend her funeral. We wish you the best and will keep you in our prayers. May the Lord Jesus Christ comfort you by His Holy Spirit.

I will never forget her beautiful voice and English accent. She was comforting to listen to. She loved tea w/ milk!! Always a happy memory. We love you all and are keeping you in our prayers. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Mother, I will miss you and our Thursdays together. You were a good mother, wife, nana and granny to your family. Sammy will miss you - you took good care of him and Cheryl and I will, too. I'm glad you didn't have to suffer long and now you may rest in peace. Love, Verna.
