    Dear Sarah, Tony , Cindy , Michael and Nicole., Just want to let you all know what a beautiful service it was for your Mother. She would be so proud of you Tony, Cindy and Sarah and the tribute that you made for her. I am so glad that I was able to come see her in recent years and to partake in the memories that I have of her. I know that she loved you all very much and she was so proud of her grandkids. That was pretty evident in the way she related to them. May the Lord strengthen you all in the days to come .

    Love Aunt Bernice and Family

    Mom, I can’t believe tomorrow will be one week since you left us. I miss you terribly but I find comfort knowing you are not suffering and nothing can harm you now. I hope you know I always thought of you as the most amazing mom and nanny to the kids. You were always there for us in every way. You were our strength all our lives and even while you were sick, you were more worried about us being okay. You were an angel on earth and now you are an angel in heaven. When I close my eyes, I see those sky blue eyes. I’ll miss meeting you downstairs to just talk, I’ll miss the multiple phone calls every day, I’ll even miss hearing you yell my name when I did something you didn’t approve of. I’ll see you again one day my beautiful mom. Mother’s Day is just around the corner, so I’ll write you a letter, tie it to a balloon and send it up in the sky to heaven. I love you so very much and I miss you more than words can say. Xox

    To the one of sweetest, kindest people I have ever met. I know we lost touch for a while.I never stopped thinking of you.I did not know you were ill. it was so shocking to hear you had passed. You have always been a hard worker and so witty and oh so funny with that dry humor you had. I love you Elaine and always will remember you. I will remember the chats we had about life, love and our kids that we love so much. I did not know you much in the valley but when I started working with you here in Brampton it was like I knew you all my life.You will be missed by anyone whom ever knew you because you touch so many with your kindness and your words.When we mention your name we will always smile thinking of something you did or said.You will always shine through in your children. you did well by them. They turned out lovely because of you Elaine. Until I see you again my dear friend.xoxo

    Mom, it’s still hard to believe all of this. To me, you are not gone. You are still here right beside me ,guiding me as you always have. I see you and feel you in everything. The flowers, the trees, the breeze of the wind, you are there. If I can be half the woman you were I could say I am proud of myself. I love you endlessly. Forever and ever. I love you mom. Cindy

    Aunt Elaine when I heard the news I was shocked still am in shock. I haven’t seen you in years but the times I did see you were great. You were a great Aunt. I remember the times mom and dad would bring me and Trent to visit you and uncle Wally when you were living in Newfoundland, they were fun times. I wish I could have seen you before you went home to fly with the Angels. Fly high Aunt Elaine.
    P.S if you see my Son kiss him for me. Hold him tight. I love You and will miss you.

    Aunt Elaine,

    Although we didn’t see each other often, I will cherish the moments our families had together. I looked forward to Christmas as we usually came out for a visit. Your Jiggs Dinner is top notch. I will miss your beautiful personality. Now you can be with Uncle Terry and Grandmother, Grandfather Brinston. I never had the opportunity to meet them but they brought so many amazing people to earth my Aunts, uncle and mom. Knowing you are no longer suffering is peace if mind. Fly with the angels Aunt Elaine.

    Forever loved
    Your niece and great niece Michelle and Aislin

    My Dear Sister Elaine, I remember the time you were born.The Sunday outing could be just a walk along Water Street. I convinced Mom to buy that cute little pink and blue dress for the baby. We had a good time up North last summer and I was looking forward to another week with you and yours. May you rest in peace. Give hugs and kisses to all the family when they greet you up above…
