There isn't a day that goes by without thinking of you guys up there. 

Dear Karen, Misty and family...
Our hearts & prayers go out to each of you.  
Know that you are not alone...you do have other family (cousins) who would love to hear from you, either by email or phone. I know we all were spread around rather far from each other and circumstances in our parents' lives did not allow us to come together as we grew up, but now that we have 'found' you we would be glad to keep in contact.
**With Love, Compassion, and God's Ever Blessings to each of you.
--Chris & Wayne Curtis.
(Chris = Lorraine's 2nd youngest daughter & Karen's cousin).

Dear Ma Ma:
As I sit in front of the computer and type this note to you my heart bleeds as it is 30 days since you were taken to go home in the sky. I know the afternoon of Feb 5th at 12:00 noon, that we were not alone in that hospital room, your mom and dad as well as your brothers and sisters were there l. When Misty, Kevin and I sent you to them, you were at peace, there was no more hurt, or pain, only  your shell was in that bed, even through death I was still trying to take care of you. I love yo and will always miss you My Lady.

Dear nana 
well in one more day it will be one month 
since u left us here, and not a day goes by 
that all of us don't think about you . I know mom
and I still cry. I got my tattoo that I asked your 
permission for and if you were still here you 
would love it but everyone that has seen it says 
that it is a. Great way to honour you and I can't 
agree more it has no meaning for anyone else 
but me I love you and miss you. Wish u were 
Here Nan I sure could use a hug  and some 
advice from my wise mentor 

God bless nana 
And say hello to the big guy :)

To my Ma Ma:
It will be 1 month since you left us! Yo were our rock, our anchor in bad storms and good waters. We have to find a way to hold our boats, and weather the storms without you. We are made of good Irish stock. But sometimes it hurts big and I don't know where to turn to. It's like Chris said him and I are orphans, we have no parents.  I miss talking to you or picking up the phone to, playing cards, going across the street to the little chinese restraunt, laughing at funny things, watching tv, and more I miss all of it and know we can't do these things anymore. Everyone keeps telling me that over time the hurt will slow down but I don't think so you and I were very close.  
I love you and miss you My Lady Always
Karen

Good Morning Ma Ma:
 It's been 2 weeks on Saturday that you left us. Not a day goes by that your not in my thoughts and actions. My heart still has a huge hole and I don't think it will ever close.  I miss and love you more than anyone will ever know. I lost my world the day you took your last breath. I know I can talk to you, but it's not the same.  I miss our talks, playing cards, doing your hair, watching movies, laughing.  I miss  seeing your face. We love you Ma Ma and miss you terribly.
Karen

Dear Aunt Rhita's Family...Our hearts are with you.  May the Lord God give you His peace and joy (recalling memories).  He is Everlasting Love.  
I so wanted to meet your Mom, your Grandmother.  I was delighted to see, by your Mom's picture, how very much she resembled my Mom, your Aunt Lou (Lorraine) as well as Aunt Bea (Blanche) AND Aunt Freda.  I am the 2nd youngest child of Lorraine.
As Emailed to Karen, my husband (Wayne) & I plan to be in Calgary in a few months, maybe April, and would most love to meet your family/families.
...With Blessings, Chris & Wayne.

hi sorry to hear about your mother..my aunt..tho we hv never met..i am Lorraine's daughter Leona

Even though we have never met I wanted to express my condolences. I am Darlene, Lorraine's youngest daughter.You may know our Mother  passed away May of 2009. When I saw your Mom pictureI was amazed at the resemblance between them. I am very sorry for your loss. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.May God give you peace.

Although we had never met,you were my father Morris's sister. The family have my deepest sympathy.  Sharon Minuk, Winnipeg

Dear Grandma,

We are saddened that you are gone, but take comfort in the knowledge that you are no longer in pain and have gone to the arms of the Father. May you truly rest in peace and know that we keep memories of you in our hearts.

Love Jay, Jennifer, Jordan, Jaime and Jack

Dear Ma Ma: 
On Friday Feb.11th we picked up the last piece of  the what you had in your room, your power wheelchair. They can now go in and paint your private room.  You will be happy to know that Rose doesn't want your room now, she wants Ida Goodman's room as it has a large window. Go figure.  Hill Crest is holding a memorial for everyone that has passed away on Feb. 15th, Misty and I have been invited to attend.  Everyone at the Extendacare has signed a card with their deepest condolences, they have come up to me and given hugs and tears.  They wanted to come and see you but they didn't get the chance. 
Your little family Loves and Misses you Astronomously
Love Karen, Chris, Misty, Kevin, Joshua, and Caleb

Dear Ma Ma: 
Today Misty and I packed up your room, it was the second hardest thing we had to do. The first was at your bedside in the hospital watching you struggle for air and feeling your last heartbeat. We all miss you and love you. You were and still are my Ma Ma, my dad, my Best friend and my confident. We talked everyday on the phone, went on outings, spent hours talking, laughing, playing Rummy, I feel so lost without you.  My heart still bleeds and will for a long time.
Your loving daughter and her hubby
Karen and Chris

Dear Ma Ma
I love you and miss you terribly. My heart has not stopped bleeding since we lost you. Not a day goes by that you're not in my thoughts and my actions. I miss our card games and your laughter, watching movies together, having the little family rally around you with love. You were our rock.
