So many good memories with PJ . PJ was the most kind hearted person you will ever know, We had many baseball nights together, with her room temp Coors, My bartender Doug and her at my wedding . PJ was always the best listener if I needed a talk. I will miss me friend RIP my friend Until we meet again Jen and Kory and family
A piece of my heart will always smile when I remember PJ. To know PJ, was to know sincere concern and heartfelt kindness. She loved her communities. Be it family, friends, colleagues or teammates she was genuinely invested in everyone. Like many, I will treasure the friendship, the laughs, the encouragement, the support and blessings she selflessly shared. Doug, June, Becky and family, your connection and commitment to eachother is to be admired. Your recent days have been heavy. Your years have been so full. Embrace all the love and joy PJ enjoyed with you. She wouldn't want it any other way. My dear PJ, I know you never liked to say Good Bye, so... until then, may you know God's grace and peace.
Doug and PJ'S extended families. We were shocked to have read about PJ'S passing. So very sad. I rememver many good times playing slo pitch in Arva. I remember PJ always arriving with her coffee cup in hand with some Baileys and ice and her sipping away during the game. Cherish the wonderful family memories you've created. RIP - PJ.
Doug and Family: Keith and I are both sorry and saddened in hearing about PJ's recent passing. It was genuinely a joy to be in her company @ different events and celebrations throughout the past several years. We extend our sincere condolences hoping the gift of her memory will provide you with the strength and comfort needed in coping with your loss.
We were heartbroken to hear of the passing of PJ. She was a lovely Aunt to the kids special sister to June and a great partner for Doug. Hugs to all.
Doug and Family Please accept my deepest condolences on PJ's passing. Thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time. John Elston
Our sincere condolence to you, Doug and family, on the loss of your wife, mother and grandmother.
We were both saddened to hear of the passing of P.J. Gerry worked with P.J. for well over 30 years and Julie visited the Lac-Mac office regularly. As others have said, it was impossible to walk down the office aisle without stopping to chat with P.J. She was always vitally interested in our family and any new happenings, remembering names and relationships with no difficulty. She was a lovely person, hard worker and core member of the Lac-Mac family. She will be sorely missed. Our condolences to her entire family, both at home and at the office.
To Doug, June, Becky, and the Colman family, I was very sorry to hear of Pj's passing. I prayed for her every day, yet God had another plan. I dreamt of her not so long ago, that she was well and came to visit us at work, her funny, happy self. I am truly sad that this will never be. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
I worked with PJ for over 25 years. She was always so full of life and energy, even during some of her physical struggles in the past year or so. She would ask me about my family and various other things going on in my life EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. - because she truly cared. If I walked past her office in a hurry, without saying good morning, she would yell after me, "HEY..." and so I would backtrack and peek into her office, and she would smile and say, "Good morning, how's Ryan?" (my kid). What a blessing it was to know her. She was most definitely one of a kind and will be deeply missed. My sincerest condolences to Doug and family. She was often quite private, but the love PJ had for her family was something she shared with us fervently.
My deepest condolences to Doug and all of the Liscumb / Coleman family. P.J. was a wonderful true friend. I miss her smiling face and cheerful good mornings. I had the pleasure of knowing her and working with her for 40 years. She is loved by her friends, her long list of Lac-Mac colleagues and customers. Irreplaceable! One of a kind! Greatly loved and missed.
I had the pleasure of working with Pj at Lac-Mac for many years. She had the ability to truly get to know her co-workers and customers and remember every detail. I couldn't walk passed her office without her saying "Just the person I need ... come see me on your way back!" Most times it was just to chat and ask about my family and my granddaughter. She will truly be missed. Our sincere condolences to Doug and her family, Kevin and I are thinking of you.
Our deepest sympathy to you Doug and all those who knew and loved PJ.
Over the many years PJ and I worked together, she was always interested in hearing what my kids and grandkids were up to, and I was always more than happy to share pictures and stories with her. To Doug and your entire family, I am so very sorry for your loss.
Doug we're so sorry to hear of PJ's passing. She was definitely one of the good ones. Please know our thoughts are with you. Rod & Pam
Sorry to heard about P.J., Doug. She was a lot of fun and I always enjoyed playing the Liscumbs. Even more fun upstairs after! All the best, Geoffrey Corfield Formerly Ilderton C.C.
I was very saddened to hear about P.J.’s passing I met P.J. at Lac-Mac, it truly was an honour to get to know and Work with P.J. We would often go for lunch chat about our day. She cared about everyone. She always gave me great advice she had a quick wit about her and we laughed a lot. My condolences to Doug and family she will be greatly missed !
So sad to hear this news. We are thinking of you during this difficult time. PJ was like family to us she was always there if we needed anything. We have many found memories with our days visiting Lac-Mac. Knowing that she is with our Dad and brother makes us smile. Hugs Kerri, Kendra,Kent, and RuthAnn Keenan

My heart is broken. My Auntie PJ was as close to my sister and I as a second mother even though she wasn't a blood relative. She was my moms 1st friend when she moved to Canada in 1972 and has been her bff ever since. My heart breaks for my mom and we're all devastated to have lost her too soon. I'll miss her smile, her laugh, our chats and so much more. Rest in peace my beautiful Auntie Phil. Until we meet again.
There are no words to explain the loss and sadness I feel with the news of my good friend PJ passing. How does one articulate the right words to explain what a good friend & woman PJ truly was. Our friendship began before we even got to meet in person but then flourished once we did meet and was beautiful. I will forever hold close the memories of this incredible friend. We talked about hopefully seeing each other again this summer if not down south in the winter. My heart is just so so sad. My condolences to Doug & family. May you take comfort knowing that those who were loved by her are truly the blessed ones. Sending love and light Tracy, Dawson, Shaylee & Gracelyn
Doug and Family, How does one say goodbye to such a wonderful lady? Called 'Mom' by many and friend by all. We're so deeply saddened beyond words. Sending warm & loving hugs, Doug & Patty Wilson
Devastated that you are gone my friend. Even though we were physically miles apart we remained close in heart. Fondest memories are flooding my mind as I remember our happy times together in Kamloops and in London years ago. Your brightness, kindness and humour were exceptional my friend. My heartfelt condolences to Doug and all your family and friends Phyllis. You truly were one in a million.
