It was wonderful to catch up with your mom, and you, Jodi, at Floyd’s service such a sort time ago. She was such a lovely lady and will be missed. Much love and hugs to the whole family.
My Condolences,

So very sorry to hear of Orriel's passing. 
Condolences to Trudy and Jody and their families, and to all of Orriels family.
We always enjoyed our visits with Orriel and John, they always made us feel so welcome.
   With love and hugs, 
                 Judy Merryweather and family.

Love and compassion to all of the family.Mrs. Vobeyda was a true matriarch and an amazing teacher. 
She taught me in elementary school in the Fort..sHe was always fair ,,always concise and patient with every student in the class. She built my self confidence.She gave  me the positive space to be the talkative little girl I was and answed my quetions. She was a wonderful music teacher and her love of music came through. Sometimes music class went over a few minutes 😉 I learned how to square dance in music class as well. and loved it! The music, the dancing and the costumes!! 
I can't say enough good things about this wonderful woman. I am thankful to have known her as a teacher and when I was an adult as a friend. She mentored many people in our community and not only that, but made valuable econtributions to the community. I am honored and grateful . she  was an excellent teacher + became a lifelong friend to me. A toast to you! Orriel . I am sure you are playing the piano, singing and dancing in heaven 💘

Condolences Trudi & Jodi & rest of family on mom’s passing. Orriels blue & white  outfit &  sending me to sit out in the hallway in Gr.2, often comes to mind. Now both  together square dancing . Hold your memories close 💐

Our hearts are filled with sadness as we remember two very special people who became a beautiful part of Dj's family ❤️Oriel and beloved husband, John,were not just a customers to us,for so many years, they came to Dj's restaurant almost everyday and with time their familier faces, kind hearts and warm smiles become part of our everyday lives,when John passed away in 2024 we felt great emptiness .Now,with the heartbreaking passing of Oriel that emptiness feels even greater.
Oriel was such a kind,sweet and wonderful person and she was very close to all of us.we will miss seeing her come through our doors, sitting at her usual place, and sharing those little conversations and moments that meant so much.It is difficult to accept that no longer see either Oriel or John at Dj's but we will always carry their memories in our hearts. They were friends and part of our family, we feel blessed that life brought them into ours and we will forever be grateful for all the memories they gave us. 
May Oriel and John now rest peacefully together ,you will both be deeply missed, never forgotten and always remembered with love by your Dj's family ❤️💔
Joe, Salma,Maysaa Manhal Angie,Alex
