On July 15th, at the age of 97, Mom passed away suddenly, but peacefully, at the Lakeshore General Hospital in Pointe Claire QC.
Mom was predeceased by her husband Harvey and daughter Wendy (Schmeszle) . She is survived by her son Edward ( Laura), grandson Charles Thurston, son-in-law Christopher Schmeszle and grandchildren Ember (Tim McKillop), Adam (Mary) Schmeszle and Mason (Sabrina) Schmeszle and six great-grandchildren as well as cousins here and overseas.
Her ashes will be interred with Dad's, who has waited patiently the past 10 years, at the Field of Honour in Pointe Claire, QC, at a time and date to follow.
The service will be live streamed. Information on the service, visitation and interment will be posted on the website of the funeral home Collins Clarke MacGillivary White in Pointe-Claire, QC.
Mom had a book with many pages of names, addresses and phone numbers of friends and family. Sadly, many had been crossed out as time catches up to us all, but it was a Godsend for me.
Mom can now hug Dad, who she loved so much, and Wendy, who was taken from all of us too soon. She always complained to me that caring for her was a burden but it never ever was or could ever be.
She was my Mother.
