Heartfelt condolences to Doris’s family
I will truly miss her. Doris was a wonderful lady .
Ken and Judy Alger
Andrea, Sarah, Cathy and Stephen you have lost a great person in your lives. A grandmother, a mother and a friend. Doris was a great lady who friended most everyone who got to know her.
Sorry that Judy and I can not make the memorial service on Monday, but circumstances are such that Judy is not able to travel that distance yet and I wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving her at home by herself either.
We will be thinking of you on Monday as you celebrate Grandma Callahan’s life.

We are so very sorry Cathy, to hear of your mom’s passing. It is easy to think they will always be here with us, but realistically a time must come when only their beautiful memories remain. Sending warm big hugs to you, Don, and your family.

Dear Cathy, Don, Sarah, Andrea & Sam & Callahan Family,
How saddened we were today to learn of the passing of this really lovely lady. Having met her a few times through the years in the shop and at your wedding, it wasn’t hard to understand the fabulousness she passed on to you Cathy, and to your girls. She’ll surely be missed by her family – Gord and I know just how much having lost both our Mom’s – it’s never quite the same again. Having loads of happy memories does help and strangely enough time does too. Keeping you in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers.
Sincerely, Cathy & Gord Evanoff

Dear Cathy and family. I am so sorry to hear about mom’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family during this difficult time. At times like this we discover how fragile life really is but we also discover that we have strong spirit that will get us through a lot more then we though was possible.
