In Memoriam,
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
In adding so much life to others, everyday in everyway, without prejudice to all that came in contact with you, you breathed hope, inspiration and love with all that you did … it was surely the best of times. Eighty-nine years of doing just that.
The void of not having that in all our lives … surely, the worst of times.
Mom, I miss you & Alexandra, Hunter & Zachary miss you.
The memories that you leave behind, the legacy of being the world’s finest human being … will be, the best of times.
May those that knew my mother, continue onward and treat each individual they meet as not only their equal but better than that, as she had done all of her life.
Love you Mom, your son, Doug
Dear Ed and Mum,
Oh I am so sorry, please pass on our condolences to Ed’s family. I
am so glad that you and Ed were back there to say goodbye and to be with her at the end and to be with the rest of the family. Just let us know when you’re planning to come back to BC and we’ll see you soon.
Take care!
Love,
Beth, Dave, Ben and Eli

Dear Pitkin Family. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I remember her as such a friendly neighbour when we were growing up in Nobleton so many years ago. She was good to all us kids and always had time to talk to us even though she was so busy raising her family. May you all be comforted at this time.
