Condolence: I am so very sorry that I am writing to you again, and so soon after the loss of your dad. Although my contact with your mom was limited, I was always so happy to see her at the Seaplane Base Service Station, she was always pleasant, always cheerful. She always wanted to tip when she was helped at the service bay, and brought in goodies at Christmas. She was such a delightful person and I have thought of her often over the years. God bless you all.

Condolence: I do not know your family but I wanted to send my condolences to all of you in your time of sorrow. Just by reading the obits of both your father and mother, I could tell they were very loving and were loved. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerly,

Jody Dausey

Condolence: Gordon, we are sad to hear about your Mother's passing. We did not have the opportunity to meet your Mother but her strong and loving qualities were evident in the moving obituary and the stories shared by you and Jane throughout the years. Cherish the wonderful memories in the days ahead. Hold your Mother in your heart. Heaven has another angel and she is watching over you.
This comes with our prayers and sympathy to you, Jane, and your entire family.

Condolence: In your time of sorrow try to remember this time will pass and you will discover you have not lost your loved one at all. She will always be in your thoughts and memories some of which will make you smile, bring a tear to your eye, or just reminisce, but she will always be there.

Condolence: Louise was my friend, my confidant and my second Mother. She often called me her second daughter. I always felt that both Lee and Louise decided that they were going to be my surrogate parents and set out to do so. They were there for me when my son, Jim, was sick with cancer and again when my husband, Ted, fought his battle with cancer and lost. They were there to meet my then boyfriend, David Hodgson, and give their approval and watch as we were married. We shared so much over the years -- so many memories. I feel truly blessed to have known her and will miss her always, my second Mother, my friend, Louise.

Condolence: Mom - You have been the heart of our family and a constant in my life. I can’t imagine my life without you in it, even as it brings me great comfort to know that you’re no longer suffering and that you’ve reunited with Dad. How do I find the words to let you know what’s in my heart, words to tell you how much I love you to thank you for all that you’ve done for me and to describe my world without you in it. But this is my feeble attempt.
You were an amazing mom, and an amazing model for me as a woman. Only when I became a mother myself was I able to realize the sacrifice and love that you gave me while growing up. Even in my adult years, you still worried and cared about me. You could even tell by my voice when something was bothering me. I will miss our many hours of talking and sharing. You and Dad were there as my safety net, especially when I was going through my divorce. Your confidence and belief in me just made me work harder to prove that I could go it alone. And I have accomplished just that. Thank you for being there for me through both the good times and bad times.
I was delighted to be able to make you and Dad first time grandparents. What a wonderful relationship you shared with Molly. You and she had a very special connection and I am grateful for the love and care you gave to her. I will miss our times together and the fun times that you, Molly and I had so often. We were certainly the Three Musketeers. And then Molly was able to give you your first great-grandchild, Evan. I know she was so proud to present him to you! The look on your face and your smiles, when you were holding him, are priceless!
Even in your final months, you showed me what an amazing person you were. I have always admired your strength and compassion, and that never went away, even in your last weeks. Your main concern was to be treated with dignity. I hope that you know that you lived your life with dignity, you treated other people with dignity and you died with great dignity.
Thank you for giving me life and thank you for being such a big part of my life. It’s been an honor being your daughter, but with great sadness I must say goodbye for now. The three of us (your “kids”), in profound grief, must now try and step up to fill both yours and Dad’s shoes. These are rather large shoes for us to fill, but we will do it, because we have you and Dad as our parents. What a great legacy you have given us! Thank you.

All my love,
Your loving daughter, Kathy

Condolence: I express my most sincere sympathy at the loss of my dear friend and neighbor, and a great wife, mother,grandmother and great grandmother of her family. I am sure you will miss her as much as I do.
