    Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. This is one of the most difficult things we must face in this life. May it comfort you to know that others are deeply touched by your loss. But the bible assures us at Psalms 34:18 that God is near to those broken in heart and those crushed in spirit he saves. He also promises that we will be able to see our loved ones again. Jesus own words found at John 5:28,29 tells us there will be a resurrection. What a wonderful hope! He also promises that soon on the earth there will be no more pain, suffering and especially death. Revelation 21:3-5 We anxiously await the day when we will no longer lose those we love. May these bible thoughts bring you comfort at this most difficult time.

    Nick and Lyn…I’m so sorry to hear about Mom…I was on here checking a different obit and had no idea…Ron and I are sorry we missed your mom’s visitation. I always loved when your mom raided your garden and brought us over the cukes and baby tomatoes. You both looked after her with great love and respect.
    Sending our love, your Noisy neighbours xox

    Nick, Lynda and family,

    I am so sorry to hear about your mom Lida. She always had a smile on her face whenever I saw her. I know my mom really enjoyed the time they spent as roommates in Ailsa Craig.

    Although time and distance had separated us from her, Grandma Balabucha will always be that lovely lady who lived next door to us in Hyde Park. She took care of us when mom was working and taught us a lot about chickens:) You touched our lives early in life and I am sure that many more people were touched by you throughout your many years. You will be missed here on Earth, but Heaven is getting an amazing angel.

    Kathie

    “It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter, and although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again”.
