Please select one of the family's preferred charities:
Jeff and Ann, Deb and Wayne, Paul and Laurie, and all of your families.
My parents enjoyed Bob and Helen during their retirement years in Point Clark and especially all of the good times in Florida and the cottage.
They were both engaging people always interested in hearing what you were doing and of course loved to chat about what all of you were doing. Your Mom and I became closer after my Mom passed in 2008 and I will always treasure her friendship. Thank you so much Jeff for the phone call.

Dear Jeff, Debbie and Paul,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a wonderful person and will be sorely missed by all who knew her. I still have great memories of Point Clark and playing shuffleboard at your old cottage. I miss the old days. I hope you are all doing OK and are finding strength and comfort in each other at this most difficult time. You all have my deepest sympathy. Your friend, Joe
Wishing to pass on my
sincerest condolences. Grandma will always be missed during those summer days on the lake and the memories we have of her will survive forever. My thoughts are constantly with everyone back home.
You will be a memory,
A memory that I have created in my mind,
Still you will be a memory,
A memory that will always be locked,
Away in my heart and my mind,
I will always have a memory of you in my heart,
And I will always carry that picture of you in my mind,
Still you will be a memory
- Nicole Elizabeth Edwards
Please pass on my condolences and memories in the services tomorrow.

Deb and Family: You are in our thoughts at this time.
Deb/Wayne and all your family: Our deepest sympathy to you and your family in your loss. May the good memories you have of your mother help you thru these difficult times
Just a short note to let you know that although I have only known Helen for a little over a year, she is a person in life that touched my heart.
I will indeed miss her, and I wish to convey to all of her family that she will indeed be a vacant place for all of us in the Malcolm Place family.
Please accept our condolences. I was privileged to have a visit with Deb and Ann at the Fair this summer and commented on how some of us age (me) and some do not (Ann and Deb). From the looks of her photo, neither did Helen. Long time no see, but we do recall fondly the days of being neighbours and your Mom as the school librarian. Best / Mark
We are very sorry to hear of your mothers passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Deb and families:
Sad to hear about Helen's death. We all enjoyed having her at Malcolm Place, she was such an interesting lady. Her tablemates were very saddened when I told them of her passing. They both told me that they were very fond of her and will really miss her............... as we all will.
Deb, you were such a good daughter to her, as I'm sure the rest of her family were too....I just had more contact with you Deb. Know that she thought the world of all of her family. She was so proud of you all! She told me that!
Take care
