Dear Peter, Olivia, Isabella,
I was sorry to hear about Connie’s passing.  I only met Connie two years ago during my walks in the area but she was always friendly.  We chatted about everyday things but mostly family and learned our parents knew each other from Italy.  I truly enjoyed every conversation we had and feel blessed to have known her.
May all your wonderful memories comfort you during this very difficult time.
With heartfelt condolences,
Mary

Mi dispiace tanto per Connie, il Signore la accolga nelle sue braccia e doni a voi familiari consolazione e conforto.
Ricorderò sempre il suo sorriso, la sua gentilezza e la sua cordialità ❤️
Dall'Italia vi siamo vicini con la preghiera,  l'affetto e l'amicizia  che lega da sempre le nostre famiglie.
Un caro abbraccio a Vito e Angelina

Our sincere condolences to the family! Maria and Mauro Cappa

My deepest condolences on the passing of Connie.
She was more than a colleague to my mom, she was a dear friend whose kindness and warmth touched my entire family.

We will always remember her visits to our home, sharing coffee, stories, and thoughtful advice. It meant so much that she celebrated our wedding with us and later held our little one, moments we will forever cherish.

Her compassion and friendship left a lasting mark on our family, and she will be deeply missed.

With heartfelt sympathy,
David & Michelle Padovani and Family

Connie Roti & Family

To Peter and family,

We are so heartbroken at the loss of Connie. Our deepest condolences to you all.

I had the pleasure of meeting Connie through my husband Michael, who always spoke so highly of her and thought of her like another sister. Whenever my daughter and I saw Connie at family weddings, she always came to us with the warmest smile and a kindness that filled the room.

I have the most wonderful memories of Connie’s parents, Angelina and Vito, who have always been such kind and gracious people. It is clear that Connie carried those same beautiful qualities with her throughout her life. No parent should ever have to endure such a loss, and our hearts go out to them during this difficult time.

Connie’s kindness and light will continue to shine through her children and family.  Rest in heavenly peace, Connie.

With love,  Rose & Alyssa Tavella

The Last Walk

Why do you walk?
Because I have to.

You walked through rain and cold and scorching heat.
Waving at neigbours
With your phone by your ear
A loved one on the other end for company

When walking became hard
Your loved ones helped you walk

And when your legs stopped working
They helped you into your wheelchair
To continue your walk

Today we all walk with you

One last walk to the gates where open arms are waiting
And you can once again
walk and talk
with all the loved ones who walked before you

As I walk through the rain and cold and scorching heat
I will remember your walk

Rest now my friend

Until we meet again where your open arms are waiting

I will continue to walk.

In Loving Memory of
Connie Calamia
Sept. 10, 1971 – Oct. 18, 2025

Dear Peter, Olivia, Isabella, Angelina, Vito, Maria, and Joey,

My heart goes out to you during this incredibly difficult time. Connie was a truly special person with the biggest heart. When I saw her last, she was smiling through the pain, and you could feel her warmth instantly. She was proudly showing me pictures of Isabella and Olivia—such a proud mama bear. She was a warrior, a strong and courageous woman.

Connie will be greatly missed, but her love, strength, and beautiful spirit will always be remembered.

With love and deepest sympathy,

Rosa De Concilys

Dear Peter, Olivia, Isabella, Angelina, Vito, Maria, and Joey,

I was deeply saddened to hear about Connie's passing. I have known her my whole life, and she was truly a beautiful, strong, and unforgettable soul. As a child, I remember the times she would babysit my brother and me, always planning fun arts and crafts and making every moment feel special. Those memories are a small reflection of the love, creativity, and warmth she brought to everyone around her.

Connie, I will always carry you in my heart, and your memory will forever remain with me. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. God only takes the best roses from the garden, and heaven has gained a new angel.

With deepest sympathy and love,

Vanessa De Concilys

My deepest condolences to the family of my dear cousin Connie. After such a long and courageous battle with cancer, she is finally at peace. Connie was a beautiful soul who cared deeply for everyone around her — a loving wife, devoted mother, and a compassionate teacher who touched so many lives.

My heart goes out to her parents, Angelina and Vito, her brother Joe, sister Maria, her loving husband Peter, and her two beautiful daughters, Olivia and Isabella. May you find comfort in the precious memories you shared with her and in knowing how deeply she was loved by all who knew her.

Connie’s kindness, strength, and faith will never be forgotten. She will always live on in our hearts.

With much love,
The Manocchio Family

I will always and forever cherish Connie and be grateful for having known her for the blessing of having her be a part of my life and my family’s.

She was a beautiful soul, full of courage and unconditional love. Connie had a special way of reaching out, always showing care and support to those she loved. Her kindness touched everyone around her.

I’ll never forget the day of her and Peter’s wedding. Being a part of that monumental moment in their lives as their ring bearer was such an honor and a privilege. Witnessing the deep, genuine love they shared surrounded by friends and family on such a beautiful day remains one of my most cherished memories.

All these years later, to have Connie and Peter attend my own wedding, a full-circle moment that meant the world to me and my wife. Her presence was a blessing, and seeing her there reminded me again of how deeply she cared for the people in her life.

I want to offer my deepest condolences to Peter, Olivia, Isabella, Angelina, Vito, Joey, and Maria. Please know that Connie has found peace. She is with God now, watching over all of you, holding you close in the same loving heart that embraced you in life.

Connie, thank you for everything you've done and for the lasting impact you've left on our hearts. When the day comes and I see you again, your beautiful smile will make Heaven even more perfect.

Until we meet again.

We love you, Connie.

To the Calamia and Gagliardi Family, 
I am devastated to hear about the loss of beautiful Connie. 

I had the privilege of growing up knowing her. I vividly remember how much I admired her as a teacher: her passion for her profession instilled such positivity and excitement on what I would learn in future grade school years: anytime I think of Ancient Egypt, I think of Connie! 

I also remember her wedding day so clearly and how beautiful she looked- I was honoured she included our family to be part of her special day. Connie was a social butterfly – she loved connecting her different social groups, creating and fostering new friendships and sharing her personal experiences and even playing matchmaker! She genuinely wanted to help everyone she came in contact with. 

Connie was a warrior in the face of cancer. She was open and honest about her condition while striving to find a cure. Attending fundraising events with Connie really illustrated her commitment to positivity in the face of such adversity. 

I hope the Calamia and Gagliardi family can take comfort in knowing how incredible Connie was: a mother, wife, friend, teacher, confidant and a shining beacon of light. I am a better person, because I knew Connie. 

All my love, 
Anita Varone

To all Calamia and Gagliardi families,
we’re so sorry  for  your loss. Connie was such a kind, thoughtful, and generous friend. Please accept our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
Her warmth, laughter, and strength touched so many lives—including ours. We hope you can find comfort in knowing how deeply she was loved and how greatly she will be missed.
Denise and Roy Padovani

We are shocked to hear about Connie’s passing. My daughter and I spend a beautiful afternoon together at the same table at a bridal shower. 
She was so positive and her strength will always be remembered.
Our sincerest condolences to the entire family. May they find strength, acceptance and courage through their faith, knowing she is no longer suffering.
Gone too soon, but never forgotten.

Our deepest condolences on your loss. May she rest in peace.

So sad to hear of Connor’s passing. May she rest in peace. Condolences to the entire family z

We are extremely saddened by the news of Connie’s passing. She was so brave and fought like a soldier always trying to keep strong and positive.  She loved her parents, her precious family and siblings with all her heart and soul. I will miss her video calls during her morning walks and sharing stories about our families. She was a third cousin but felt so much closer. We send prayers for courage and loving hugs to our dear cousins. Rest peacefully cousin Connie. From Maria Roti, Maria La Tassa and Rita Pace and families.

We are heartbroken over the loss of Connie; a beautiful soul we had the privilege of watching grow up. My wife and I have known her since she was a little girl. Our families go back decades. Connie and her family were dear friends of my wife and in-laws, and loving neighbors to my grandmother. They always looked out for her, and for that we’ll always be grateful.
We watched Connie grow into the incredible woman she became. Our eldest son was the ring bearer at her wedding day filled with so much love and joy. It’s incredibly hard to accept that she’s gone. Her strength and grace through her battle with such a cruel disease were truly inspiring.
No parent should ever have to endure the pain of losing a child. Our hearts go out to Angelina and Vito, to her siblings Maria and Joey, and especially to Peter and their children. We hope you find comfort in the love that surrounds you and the many lives Connie touched so deeply.
She is at peace now, and her light will live on in all who knew and loved her.
With deepest sympathy and love,
Nick, Vicky and Vincent Varone

The loss of your beloved Connie deeply saddens our hearts. She was a beautiful soul whose kindness, strength, and love touched everyone around her. May the cherished memories you shared bring you comfort, and may God give you strength in the days ahead.

With our deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers, Antonietta Luceno and family

What a blessing it was to have known you my whole life. 
We only lived a street apart, always at each other’s houses with our moms chatting away. Your mom even babysat me when we were little, that’s how close our families were. 
We grew up side by side, went to elementary school together, spent countless Sundays at Terra Cotta and Innisfil Beach. Those are memories I will cherish forever.
You were like another sister to me. I loved teasing you, making you laugh, and scaring you just for fun. 
I still can’t believe that the last time we spoke on the phone would be the last time I’d hear your beautiful voice. You were so courageous, such a warrior through everything you faced. I wish I could have even half of your strength and courage.
I will miss you forever. My heart goes out to your mom and dad, your siblings, Peter, and your children. 
When God comes to take me home, I hope you’ll be there waiting with open arms and that beautiful smile.
I love you, Connie. You will be forever missed, and forever remembered.

Love your cousin, Michael Tavella
