Dear Frank and family, sending heartfelt sympathy during this difficult time. Wishing you strength and peace in the days ahead. Eternal memory.
Our deepest Condolences to the loss of your mom🙏
Our thoughts are with you and you family
We love you so much! I could not have asked for a better grandma. You then, now, and forever will be my angel on earth.
Joe, Frank, Marta and Family:
We were so sorry to hear of your mom’s/grandma’s passing. There was never a task inside or outside the cottage that Anica wouldn’t tackle. But above all, her laughter could always be heard. She was so proud of her family and so happy that Michael and Sarah are staying and looking after the cottage now.
With our deepest condolences,
Jim & Janice McCord
She was the best neighbour and a wonderfully compassionate and caring woman. May she rest in peace and may you Frank, Marta and family and Joe be comforted by all of the beautiful memories of times spent together.
Dear Frank and Joe,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a very gentle, kind and patient lady. She had a wonderful way of making everyone feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. I will always remember her beautiful smile and the way she welcomed us into her home with such kindness and warmth.
Your mother and our mother shared more than 60 years of a beautiful and solid friendship, built on unwavering trust, mutual respect, and the intentional support they gave to one another. Their friendship was truly special, and it is something I will always treasure and remember.
Sixty years is a lifetime of memories, and I feel so grateful that our families were able to share such a special bond over all these years. I hope that we can carry on the beautiful friendship that our mothers had, just as they did—with love, trust, respect, and always being there for one another.
May the memories of your mother’s gentle spirit, beautiful smile, kindness, and friendship bring you comfort during this difficult time.
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
Irene and Family
