I thought of Isabelle as my Mother Goose. I knew her for the 5 1/2 years I worked at Longworth. Isabelle had a strong faith and love for God and the People around her. When your heart felt heavy she knew it , and knew what to ask and what to say and talking with Isabelle you always came away feeling comforted and reassured that things would work itself out. Isabelle loved to know how we were doing and even how our families were doing. Myself living over 8 hours away from my Mother,.....i felt like I had an angel watching over me. She just knew any time if anything out of the ordinary was going on with any of us. Isabelle loved to exchange stories of life experiences and loved to listen to ours too. She had a great sense of humour and we loved to see her laugh and giggle. Isabelle was very special to all of us and will be missed so much. I have many moments when I think of her and hear her reassuring voice, her giggle and laughter and kind words.I wont forget the difference she had made in our lives, and how privelidged we were to have had her here with us. She will be missed so much by so many.

We send our sincere love and sympathy in the passing of our dear friend Isabelle. We enjoyed some special times with her and we will miss her. We enjoyed listening to her play the harp and the organ. We also remember good times with her husband Ed.
