    Marilyn, Jack and family — Sorry to hear about the passing of Jean. She certainly was a great lady. Margaret Eyre had just let me know on Sunday that she had been up for the funeral. My sympathy goes to you and your families at this sad time. I&&single&&m sure you will miss her a lot.

    Our sincere sympathy to you Marilyn, Jack and Donna on the passing of your Mother Jean. We always enjoyed talking to Jean when we were out for a walk when she was working in her wonderful flower garden. She was a great neighbour.

    Dear Marilyn and Jack and families: We are so sorry that travel plans prevent us from joining you to celebrate Jean&&single&&s life. Both your parents were an inspiration to us: talented, compassionate and faithful. So many wonderful memories have come to us as we recall them such as Jean sharing her nursing skills to enable people to stay in their own home before there was support for that, her years of decorating the church and singing in the choir, her gift for creating beauty and seeking truth. Holding you in prayer as you entrust this faithful servant to God&&single&&s unfailing love. May God be with you.

    Jack, Dawna,Marilyn & families please accept my sincerest sympathy at this time. Your mom had a long and fruitful life and for many years was a constant at our church and in our community. When I see beautiful flowers I always think of your mom and dad.
    I am very sorry for your loss.

    Just want you to know how sorry we are of your moms passing.
    She was a wonderful neighbour and gardener. We missed them both when they moved to the Seaforth Manor. Your mom will finally be free of pain.
    May they rest in peace together…
