Janine & Denis - Deepest sympathy. Our thoughts & prayers are with you and your family with the passing of your mother.

~ John & Jackie

We are new neighbours so we only had a chance to meet Fern a few times, but she was a lovely woman with a warm smile and nice sense of humour. It is with great sadness we heard of her passing. We knew she had been ill but did not want to intrude. However, know that our prayers are with you all.

Bonnie & Rick our deepest condolences on the passing of your mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Bonnie & Rick--our sympathy on the passing of your Mother. You were great to grant her wish to remain at the farm. Your Mother & Father were "fixtures" on the seventh concession.

~ Syd & Jeanne Greenberg

Vickie, Corey, Bonnie, Rick, Janine, Denis -Our deepest sympathies. Your mom was very special. We will hold you in our thoughts and hearts during this sad time. I have been thinking of your mom these last couple of days - her love of the birds singing, the orchard, the farm, and of your mom and dad with Vickie picking me up (when we were much younger) and going to the beach for the day. We hope you find comfort in the memories that surround you.

Dearest Vickie, Corey, Bonnie, Rick, Janine and Denis, God bless you and keep you in the palm of His Hand. Please know that my love and prayers are with you all during this time of sorrow. I cannot be with you today because of a work commitment but I am sending you hugs and prayers. Words cannot express fully my sympathy. Thank God that you have each other and I remember when my Dad died, how kind you were to me and my family. My heart aches for you at this time. love and prayers, Bonnie
