Gayle. . . I am honoured and blessed to have known you. Remembering your wonderful and gentle soul will forever remain in my heart. See you up there my friend. . .
“Remember me with smiles and laughter,
for that is how I will remember you all.
If you can only remember me with tears,
then don’t remember me at all.”
My deepest condolences Shawna and Eugene. Thinking and sending prayers to you and your loved ones.
Gayle, I wish that I’d had the opportunity to meet you. Your wonderful sister, Janice is a good friend of mine and I know how very dear your were to her. She spoke of you often. She spoke of your courage, your resilience, and your loving personality. I know how crushed she is by your death. Very fortunately she’ll have many, many wonderful memories of the happy sister times you so often shared. Your St.Patrick’s Day gatherings sounded like a real hoot.
Look over her and the rest of your family as they try to deal with your untimely death.
Heaven has received a true angel .
Your laughter and kindness made this world a brighter place .You will be remembered for that.
Condolences to Shawna and family.
After retirement from Yellow Pages, I got to know Gayle through golf. What a delightful & hugely compassionate person she was. Gayle’s friendship to my family when my late mother, Ada, was in long-term care in the Dawe’s neighbourhood will be in my heart forever. Sincere condolences to Shawna, Eugene & all the family . . .
Deepest condolences to you Shawna and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless.
Dearest Shawna & Eugene, we are so sorry to read this … We know how much you adored and loved your beautiful Mom. Yes she will be missed daily by you …. My Mom went Home October 14, 2013 & I think of her daily and miss her; this is totally normal and all part of grieving. When you’ve had a terrific, loving Mom this is your gift from God, to remember all the wonderful memories you have for LIFE!
We are praying for your whole family at this time of great sadness. With so much love, Ginny & Terry
