Bill,

reading others reminisce about your wife gives me a sense of how great a loss her passing brings. 

Gary Watson, Ottawa Athletic Club member

There are no words only extreme loss and heartache.  My prayers and deepest sympathies are extended to all.  Your Mom is a favourite to many and had such a great impact on our family.  Never to be forgotten the memories are grandious. She meant so so much to our family there are no words.  I am thinking of all of you at time. xoxo

My heart goes out to you during this difficult time.  Please accept my sincere condolences.

Geraldine was an original. She was a trusted and true friend … and a treasured part of our lives for twenty-four years. She gifted us with her honesty, integrity, compassion, warmth, humour, hospitality, wisdom, joviality … and most of all her innate Cape Breton kindness. She taught us about life, how to navigate ups and downs, and how to seize the day. She inspired us with her strength, dignity and determination, especially in the face of grave illness and suffering. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Geraldine's beloved family and to all who had the great fortune to be touched by Geraldine along life's path. She will live forever in our heart of hearts.

Phyllis, sorry to read about your sister Gerry's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I'm a regular morning swim buddy of Bill but never got to meet Geraldine, although he often talked lovingly about the lady he had waiting at home.  After reading all these other postings, it's obvious that Gerry was a very special lady who effected many people in many different loving ways. My sympathy goes out to all her many freinds & family.

My deepest sympathy go out to Gerry's family, we were neighbors way back when, she was always so happy go lucky.We had great times together.

                                                                       Denise Beaudry (Orleans,ON)

Dear Mom, 

Sorry that I left you out when I sent my condolence for your sister Geraldine, you know of course that I am thinking of you everyday and hour, take care and I will see you soon,

Love Vince.

Bill and family, please accept my deepest condolences. Gerry was a joy to be around with her feisty spirit and cheeky wit. We had so many good times together and I will miss her but clearly not as much as you for whom she had so much love. The world has really lost a good soul, rich in spirit and generous in every way. Our loss is heaven's gain!
Brian Mission, BC

Dear Family,
Gerry was my teacher at St. Michael's school in Overbrook. She had such a wonderful impact on all of the kids in our classroom. Her kind and supportive demeanour led us all to succeed. That is what Gerry did. She always put her students in a position to succeed. Then she would walk home from school with us all the way down Presland Rd. Your Mom made us all feel special. I will always remember how special she was because of those wonderful memories.

Her presence on the ice at the RA will be missed.  She was full of vim and vigour and always had such a positive outlook on life.

Dear Bill, Joan, Danny Kathleen and Jeannie, please accept my deepest sympathy. You have lost a wife and mother, and I have lost a very dear friend. Will always remember and have good laughs for the times we had together.

Bill and Family,
Gerry was a much loved member of the RA Curling Club for many years. All of us there were amazed by her stamina and spirit over the past years while she struggled with her illness. She carried on with that beautiful smile and sunny disposition. We will truly miss Gerry, she was an inspiration to us all.

Dear Bill and family,

Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the passing of Geraldine. You are in our thoughts.

Taught with Geraldine at St. Bernard's school in Blossom Park many years ago. We had many a laugh when she was around.

Bill, Joan, Kathleen, Jeanne & Danny, our thoughts and prayers are with you, I will miss my dear friend.  I have so many wonderful memories of fun times we shared.
Bill and Maureen Walsh

Kath, Jeanne and Danny..... please accept my deepest sympathies.  I know, from recent experience, that this is a very difficult time.  My thought and prayers are with you and your families.  I am sending long distance hugs of support this week.  I'm sure our mothers are together again with a cold beer and some Irish music, as they had been so many times over the span of the 40 years of their friendship.  Hold on to your memories, they will help you through.  Vicki xoxoxoxox

Bill, Dan, Joan, Kath & Jeannie, so sorry for the lost of Aunt Dooney, she will be greatly missed.  It's not an easy time but you will get through it.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.  Love Colleen & Earl

"Doonie" was, without a doubt, my favourite cousin. When I was a boy, she could make me laugh so hard with her quick wit and mischievous smile. My heartfelt sympathies go out to the immediate family for this tremendous loss.

Bill, our deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of Geraldine.

To Bill and all of Gerry's family: 
We are so sorry to hear of Gerry's passing. She (and you, Bill) welcomed us to the neighbourhood in 2005 with open arms, with warmth and with kindness. I loved our afternoon summer talks on your back porch and our children loved wandering into your yard to admire her beautiful flower gardens.
We will all miss her terribly.
All our love,
Cheryl, Ed, Ysabella & Alex. xoxo

Always appreciated her guidance and wisdom  to us.
As a former teacher her knowledge was an inspiration to me.
Will miss her humour.
Ronald Legault and Karen Scott
