To all of the Stewart Family. I was so sorry to see that your Mom passed away We are away on holidays so missed her service. Our thoughts and hugs to all of you.
Deepest sympathy to Marie's family and siblings. I remember her and Bill's wedding. I think it was at Uncle Glen and Aunt Winnie's and I remember serving dinner to the wedding guests. I was only about 9 years old so it was a quite a big deal to me. May she rest in peace. Louise Conley

Judy and I are truly sorry for you for the loss of your “Mom”. It is a very difficult time. Judy and I have both lost our mothers and felt the loss for a long time but now our memories are all things we liked and shared with our “Moms”. Our families were the reasons we were able to bridge the loss and I know yours will be too. Kindest regards and condolences.
