Mom was the rock solid foundation our family was built on. She was a very versatile individual who became a dear friend to everyone she knew. She was a very knowledgeable person who helped many who sought her direction or advice. Her love for her family was expressed in her every action, in spite of all the sickness she endured. In those few words, we are only touching on how much we appreciated mom. While we are overwhelmed with sadness at her passing, we are thankful to Almighty God that he chose to put an end to her suffering she was going through for the last while. We would like to thank all those in our community and surrounding area who received mom and spoke well of her. Your kindness will never be forgotten.
We would like to mention mom’s lifelong friends, Maureen Pearson, Loretta Conway, and Lucy Merner who sat by her bedside and were loyal and devoted to the end. We thank you for your friendship to her for many years.
As a family, we would especially like to express our gratitude to mom’s sister in law, our aunt, Imelda Dalton. You have been our rock for the last number of years and a dear friend to mom. You are the best. Also, to Aunt Bride O’Rourke for caring for mom’s most precious, her dog Marley. We know she was in a "safe harbour".
A special thank you to the staff of Placentia Health Centre for their loving care in Mom’s final days. You went above and beyond and we greatly appreciate your compassion during that time.
Funeral arrangements entrusted to Maher’s Funeral Home, Placentia. Visitation to take place on July 29th at 2 p.m. at Sacred Heart Church, St. Bride’s. Funeral to take place on July 30th at 11 a.m.
