Dear Bruce and Lauren,
I was so deeply saddened to hear about Lisa’s passing. Losing her at only 67 feels impossibly early, and the world is truly a little dimmer without her in it.
I will always remember Lisa’s smile and her laughter, she had a way of lighting up every room she walked into. Her warmth and kindness were simply part of who she was, and I know exactly where Sarah and Lauren got theirs from, because it runs so clearly through your whole family, Bruce included.
I know this loss comes with its own particular weight, carrying Sarah’s memory alongside Lisa’s now. Please know that I’m thinking of you both, during this incredibly difficult time.
Lisa was a wonderful human being, and she will be deeply missed by everyone who was lucky enough to know her.
With deepest sympathy,
Ettore

Lisa was a beautiful person and had a way of always making those around her happy. Her laughter and smile were infectious. Her memory lives on and we are grateful and lucky to have called her our dear friend.

Our heartfelt condolences,

My sincere condolences. Live, laugh and love was her mantra and will miss her dearly ⛳️
Dear Bruce & Lauren. First of all I wish to extend my deepest condolences to you both. I’m heartbroken. I uploaded this photo taken last summer in Windsor on what would be our last visit together. All four of us went to elementary and high school together. We got into quite a few shenanigans back in the day but nothing too crazy. Lisa will always be remembered for her love of family and friends. Her strength, courage and incredible bravery all speak to the woman she was. A piece of her will always remain with me and I will think of her every time I’m at 3211 Mark Ave. May her memory be a blessing to you and the many people she interfaced with throughout her life.
Bruce – sincere condolences to you and your family on Lisa’s passing. My thoughts are with you at this most difficult time.
I will keep fond memories of the many years spent golfing with Lisa at Caledon Woods and more recently when she joined the Ladies League at Legacy Pines. She was always a cheerful and animated conversationalist while enjoying a glass of white wine on the patio with the ladies. My heart goes out to Bruce, Lauren and family.
Lauren and family,
I’m so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She was taken far too soon. I hope your memories bring you comfort in the days ahead. I recall so many stories you shared about your mom, and it was always clear how much you admired her. Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.
Take care,
Erin
Life will never be the same with Lisa not here.

She will be pain free and with her beloved Sarah & family.

Love you always, see you on the other side.
❤️ Love Wendy, Pat & family

There are no words that sound or read ok – I’m so sad for Bruce, Lauren, the family and all (and there are many) friends that have lost one of the most loving, strong, giving and beautiful person with a smile that made everyone smile – Lisa will always be thought of as a great person – never to be forgotten -, I will always cherish the memories of her with lots of love

We are so deeply sorry for your loss. Lisa brought so much joy into our lives, she and Bruce were some of the most fun, warm people we’ve had the pleasure of knowing as neighbors. The laughter and good times we shared are memories we’ll treasure always.

Dear Bruce, Lauren, and Philip,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I feel grateful to have known Lisa and to have called her my friend. I met Lisa 20 years ago through work, and very shortly after, we became friends. Over the years, we shared so many fun times, and we also supported each other through some very difficult ones. Those memories, and the friendship we built, will always hold a special place in my heart.
Seeing you all, sharing stories just a few weeks ago, laughing with her, is a memory I will always cherish. Please know that I am thinking of all of you during this incredibly difficult time and sending you my heartfelt condolences, love, and strength.
Lisa fought with grace, humor, and an unbelievable amount of love right up until the end. She showed us all what it means to live fully even when time feels borrowed. Her greatest joy was knowing her family was surrounded by love—yours especially. She may not be here to wrap her arms around you, but that love she poured into you both is still very much alive. It will carry you through the days when the missing feels too big. It will show up in memories that make you smile through tears, in the values she passed on, and in the way you continue to love each other as she would want.
Lisa was a special friend to us both. We will miss and love her forever.

To Bruce and Lauren and family,
My deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved Lisa. She was ever so kind and
and welcoming. I remember her putting a potted tulip plant on my desk to celebrate the beginning of spring. At Christmas time after being there only a short time, I was included in the gift of appreciation to the employees. Lisa continues to live in the hearts and memories of the fortunate ones who got to know her.
I will keep you in my prayers.

Lisa was genuine…. When you spoke, Lisa listened.
Her humour, at times laced with a tich of sarcasm, was wonderful, she was always so much fun to be with.
Lisa was strong, positive, kind and such a beautiful person.
She will be so missed.
Keeping you in our hearts Bruce and Lauren

Hi Lauren and Bruce,
Had a good cry when I heard the news – devastated for you. Hopeful that Lisa is reunited with Sarah and they are catching up on the last 20 years. Wish I could’ve made the trip from Halifax this weekend. Thinking of you both.
Lots of love,
Tobin

Lisa was truly the most incredible friend, mother, and partner. As someone who was close friends with both Sarah and Lauren, I witnessed first hand how Lisa and Bruce cared for everyone. Lisa was the most loving, fun, hilarious, and thoughtful person. She’s treated everyone with such care and respect.
My deepest condolences to Lauren, Bruce and the rest of the family. She was truly a special person and will be missed dearly. My heart and thoughts are with Bruce and Lauren ❤️

Bruce,
I have only fond memories of my summers at Caledon Woods sharing time with you and Lisa. I am so saddened to hear of her passing. My deepest condolences to you and the family.
Diane ❤️
Bruce & Lauren,
So very sorry to hear of Lisa’s passing. She fought long and hard, and yet lived her life on her own terms from what we could see. Her passing will naturally leave “a hole in your hearts”, but the memories you made will make you stronger. Ash and I will contribute to her suggested charity in her memory.
So very sad to hear that Lisa had reached her final day. I have not seen Lisa for decades, possibly at Madi’s 1st birthday tea party, but as a “fellow” aunt I have been kept informed by our wonderful and loving niece and nephews regarding her terrible illness. Throughout this time I have admired her courage and composure, which has seen her through to a peaceful end. My thoughts are with all her friends and family.
