Mom, you were a wonderful mother, grandmother, and friend. You were our center, our rock. We loved you for many things: your readiness to lend a hand, your eagerness to please, your smile, your warmth, your tenderness, and for all the ways you cared.
Mom loved many things: her family, friends, cooking, word search puzzles, her favourite TV shows, and playing Yahtzee with Aunt Kay until they broke the tie.
She also loved hearing Uncle Bruce sing with his beautiful voice. Caramia was her favourite.
She loved our dad immensely, but she also had a soft spot for Engelbert Humperdinck. The mainstay record at home or at Aunt Kay's.
Beloved mother of Carol Remerswaal (John), Laurie King (nee Tolton), and the late David (1958) and Ron (1977) Tolton.
Loved grandmother to Shawn and Ron Legassie.
She is survived by her brother Bill and predeceased by siblings Frank, Elaine, Roland Jr., Bruce, and Kathleen.
Mom, I hope you are at peace above (no more hurting, no more pain). In Heaven, wrapped in mercy, held in love. Your voice, your warmth, your gentle way, will guide us through each coming day. We love you, and we will see you again mom.
