Dear Sam and John and clan; I sure did enjoy the visit with your Mom and Dad when they came to Nova Scotia and I know they always wanted to come back. They were both great people and I know you will miss them dearly. Love and hugs to you all and know you will be in my thoughts the next few days. Susie

Bill, Val and Family posted a condolence

Val and I want to extend our love and support to Sandra, Charlie and Penny at this time. I can't think of my Aunt Nellie without thinking of my Uncle Bill. The two were insperable in life and now will be inseparable in death. They will now live in eternity with their Lord and Saviour. I have so many wonderful memories of my dear Aunt Nellie. Nellie and Bill were at many important events in my life. Thanksgiving, Easter, my birthdays, my high school graduation, my wedding, etc. They provided tremendous love and support to my family when my mother passed on. They helped to teach me how important family is and were always at any special family event. They taught me how live, love and enjoy life.

Penny and family, so very sorry to hear of your mom passing, just know that she is smiling and watching over you all. She is at peace. Hope this little poem will give you comfort. Just One Day If I could come back for just one day I know exactly what I would say To my family and friends and those who I loved As a message from God who speaks from above. I would say it’s okay to be sad for awhile But what I really want most is to see your smile And for you to go on and live once again – Allowing the Lord to comfort your pain. I know that you loved me with all of your heart And that none of you wanted for me to depart. I don’t quite understand it myself But I know you’ll get by with a little help. Yes, I would say to be sad for a day And to do what you need to do And then life up your eyes to the wonder of the sky And know that I loved you very, very much.

To Helen's family. You will not know my wife or myself as we live in Toronto. BUT, being from Smith's Falls we often come home for visits. It was on one of those visits several years ago that we had the blessed opportunity to meet both Bill and Helen. A kinder, sweeter, more caring couple we have never met. We had the opportunity to socialize with them on several occasions while home visiting and we always came away feeling enriched because of the time we spent with them. We take this opportunity to leave this message so that you know as well as my wife and I, I'm sure there are many, many more people whose lives have been touched by your wonderful parents, that you will never have the opportunity to meet or know. Our prayers are with you at this time. God Bless You!

Just learned about your Mother's death. I have met some of the family but do not know you well. I live at 8 Beech and have the little white dog. I used to have a visit with your Mother when she was at home. My sympathy to all the family at this time.
