    Mary Ann
    Please accept Eddie and my condolences on the passing of your mother. We were in the Holy Land, at the time and were unable to attend the funeral. Eddie and I always enjoyed your mother’s smiling face and wonderful spirit. She would always take time to chat with us when we picked up our vegetables on our way back from London. We will miss her very much and especially her great vegetables. Ed and Dolores Tighe

    Our sincere sympathy to the Devlaeminck families. It was my pleasure to know Suzanne for a long time and her big smile made you feel so good. Suzanne was a big support when I was going through cancer treatment every few weeks she would call and we talked that was so great and helped me a lot now I’m so glad that I let her know that. She will be missed not just by her family but by the many friends and anyone she had contact with , God bless you for giving us the time with her. Suzanne maybe gone but not forgotten by many.

    October 20, 2010 at 6:05 PM

    Please accept our deepest sympathy. We know how much you will miss Suzanne, just as her many, many friends will miss her. She was a wonderful lady, a sincere, caring person and such a hard worker. She always treated any orders we gave her for the church as #1 and always made sure the vegetables and cabbage were the best of what she had. We always got compliments on any vegetables we got from her. We are sure going to miss that contact with her as well as the personal contact she gave each of us as we went to buy potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower and so on. Our two sons, Brent and Kurt, used to help your mom and dad in the fall getting the cabbages out of the field and the other vegetables. It was an after school job they both knew nothing about and learned as they went. Your parents, both of them, were kind, concerned, encouraging teachers to our sons and we really appreciated what they did for them.
    We have been praying for Suzanne and her family this spring and summer as a group from the Centralia United Church and will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. God bless.

  27. Joe & Diane Kaak

    October 20, 2010 at 4:44 PM

    Our love is with you at this sad time. Hang on to the happy memories of which I am sure are many. We certainly have good ones of the great veggies and the smiling face and the sharing of ideas of how to cook them a new way. We look forward to many more trips to pick up a special treat. We send our prayers and caring at this time. Dave and Audrey
