Joan and I send our best wishes to Elaine, Marcia and Sandy. Your mother was a treasure and a joy to know. I remember the fun times we had with Ben and your Mom at Sandy and Pauls, playing horseshoes and cards. She was a wonderful woman who adored her husband and her children. She will be missed and we hope she is in a special place in Heaven.

Such a sweet soft-spoken gentle caring lady. I'm grateful for the short time I came to know her when she was a neighbor at Federation Homes. My condolences to her daughters who I also came to know and admire for their complete devotion to their mom. I will cherish her memory. My best to all of you, you were everything to her.

We are so sorry to hear of cousin Sara's passing. She certainly lived a long special life & was a wonderful woman. Mom use to love their conversations together before they both went to nursing homes.

Gram,

Memories of you? Simply too many to list. Your words of wisdom, assurance, and love were most cherished by me through the years.. BUT it was the inadvertent food poisoning of Me, Mathieu, and Paul with your "killer" chopped liver pate one Passover that remains supreme. I recall your flitting from exam room to examine room whilst we were rehydrated, consumed with guilt, but finding the humor in it nonetheless. I took great delight in reminding you of it through the years. Always a laugh. Such a great sport.
Let us not forget my grandmother's supurb resiliency and sense of humor. Gram, I will be there soon to place flowers on your grave, a bell in one hand, some chopped liver in the other. Look out!

May you find peace on your new journey.

Love,

Tamara
