Dear Terry, Mike, Heather, Taylor, Vicki, Krista and Kevin... We are both so saddened to hear about Chris. She was such a wonderful, cheerful, kind lady and was always pleased to see you when you bumped into her. She had a smile that lit up a room. Our daughter Kelly remembers when Chris and Cora took Krista and Kelly to Storybook Gardens...they had such a fun day...the pictures prove that! Our thoughts are with you all at this time.

Dear Mike and Heather - It's a tough deal when you loose someone close, someone that means so much this I know for sure. Hang on to the memories, lean on each for comfort, know that your friends are there for you. While I haven't seen your Mom in a very long time I can remember like yesterday the big welcoming smile that she gave when ever we went saw Chris and Terry. She always made me feel like I was number one and I'm sure that was the same for all the rest of the gang when we were growing up. My thoughts and prayers are with you. J.M.

Terry and family ... our regrets go out to you on the passing of Aunt Lillian. A short note I once read . "God saw you getting tired, so He closed His arms around you, and whispered "come to me". He took you home to rest, God's garden must be beautiful, For He only takes the best". Love Dwight & Jayne Paquette

We are so sad about the sudden and unexpected passing of Chris. We will miss her beautiful smiles and cheery hellos and chats that we had on their front lawn. She was a wonderful neighbour, an all round great woman, and an amazing gardener! We will miss her greatly! Our thought and prayers are with Terry and all of the family as you deal with the huge loss of your wife and mother. Sincerely, Don and Mary and family
