Ken  and family
   I still think about Claire and all our good times we had for a good many years, she passed on my birthday, so I know she is up there looking down on all of us,  she always spoke so well of Ken and how good he was to her.  Rest in Peace    
                      always your friend Anne

Ken  I remember  her sweet smile, all the time, always a nice word she had for everyone,  and she always talked so well of her Ken.
We all miss her at golf, the girls talk about her, and they ask for you also.  She is up there looking down on her husband and family
           God Bless    Anne

Ken and family    Claire was such a beautiful person, inside and out
I had many good laughs and talks with her, everyone thought the world of her, she will be missed
God Bless Anne

Dear Uncle Ken, Tina, Theresa, Brad and families.
In loving memory of Aunt Claire. She lived her life in such a loving. peaceful way. I will always remember her kindness.  The family gatherings are memories I will always treasure. 

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord
And where there is doubt true faith in You
Make ma a channel of your peace
Where there is despair in life let me bring hope
Where there is darkness only light
And where there's sadness ever joy
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
It is in giving to all man that we receive
And in dying that we are born to eternal life

Hugs and prayers to all the family at this difficult time. Claire was such a beautiful lady both inside and out. She will be sadly missed by all who were lucky enough to have had her in there life. Rest In Peace my sweet friend. 

I feel a deep emptiness knowing I no longer have my beautiful sister to call upon for insight, advice and always loving support. Claire and I always shared a closeness that many times was communicated through just a knowing look. We shared a similar philosophy in how life should be handled.  We laughed at the same things and loved our families above all else.  Life changes so very quickly and the ones we love just slip away. I loved and admired Claire and I will miss her beyond words. Ken and Claire were always my idea of what true love should be and they were the best together.  Love never ends though and I hold Claire in a special place in my heart and always will. 

We were saddened to hear about Claire's passing.   She will be missed.

Grandma, thank you for always supporting me, taking care of me and being the best cheerleader. Anything I’d do whether it be big or small you’d make sure I know how proud you were. 
I will always remember when I was sick you’d always put on your nurses cap and take care of me. You knew egg in the  middle was my favourite thing so you’d always make it for me to help me feel better. I love you grandma, I miss you everyday.

I never thought how I would be able to say goodbye.  So I won't. 
Instead I'll think about all the amazing things you've taught me that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. 
How to always treat people with kindness and respect. 
How to see the best in people.
How to be a strong women. 
How to bake the perfect pie crust. 
How to make an egg in the middle.
How to open up to people and share your stories. 
How to tell a story. 
How to see everyday as a new beginning. 
How to appreciate a good book. 
How to be there for people when they need you. 
And how to love with your whole heart. 
You have shaped our family into being caring, kind, and amazing people and because of you and everything you've taught me I know I will be able to go forward and live life to the fullest. 

I'll always remember you  Grandma. 
& I'll love you forever and always.

I've thought long and hard about how I wanted to go about writing this, because she more than deserves something profound and meaningful. She always did tell me I have a "gift" for writing. Little did she know, she was the ultimate story teller.

I've started writing something about 4 times, but it never seemed to come out right. I don't know if it's because I don't truly want to say goodbye, or I just don't know how to write about someone who meant so much to so many? 
I could write about her sense of humour which always, always, made me laugh. 
I could write about her uncanny ability to stress me out from ending up in any sort of situation, which of course she would laugh off. 
I could write about her incredible memory which seemed to remember the smallest detail about anyone and everyone.
I could write about her generous spirit and her giving heart.
I could write about how she was a natural caregiver who looked out for everyone else before herself. 
I could write about how she molded and shaped the lives of all her children and grandchildren just by being herself. 

There are so many things I could write, say and share about my incredible Grandma. 

And I will, but for now, instead of only writing a goodbye message, I'm going to say thank you for everything, Grandma. I love you, Grandma. You are one of my heroes, Grandma. You will always ALWAYS be missed, Grandma. We will all make you so proud, Grandma.  
Love you forever, Jamie.
