MARGARET ANN JOYAL-SORIN

Condolences & Memories (26 entries)

• From reading everyones comments on here I would not know how to add to it. Maggie was the kindest, most loving woman I have ever met. She had the most infectious laugh and whenever we would run into each other it was like time had never stopped. Her travel stories across the border always made me laugh. Maggie was always there to lend a helping hand and asked for nothing in return. She will be missed. Heaven has an incredible vivacious-spit fire of an angel in their wings now. Paul and Sabrina, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Wynn? I know you were very special to Maggie. I am sorry that I was not able to attend the service. I had all intentions but became ill that morning. - Posted by: Cynthia Davidson (Friend) on: Feb 19, 2012

• I am in total shock and disbelief. I did not get an opportunity to read last Saturday's newspaper until today and am so very upset at myself as I feel like I've let an old friend down and didn't show up for Maggie's service yesterday. I met your beautiful wife and mom many, many years ago when we both attended Girl Guides at St. Ignatius Church. I would walk and call on her and we became friends immediately and shared many laughs with one another. Time and life had a way of taking us down different paths but, whenever I bumped into Maggie throughout the years, we would continue where we had left off and brought each other up to warp speed with what was happening in our lives. She beamed when she spoke of her beautiful daughter Sabrina whom she adored and doted on. She would tell me of your accomplishments and dreams of the future. I never met you Paul but can only assume that you must be one terrific guy with a keen sense of adventure and a wonderful sense of humour. She would tell me that her family was off for a holiday here and there and always invited me to walk by her house when I was out walking my dog as her dog would love the company. I now can say that I wish I had taken Maggie up on her offer to pop by and have a visit. My deepest sympathy to the whole family is being sent and I know in my heart that wherever Maggie is, she's the life of the party with that fabulous smile, the wink of her eye and her contagious laugh. She had a way about her - she was genuine and always made me feel that whatever I had to say was very important. You don't find many friends like that. I hope to see you again one day my friend so we can bring each other up to warp speed just like always. I pray that you are at peace and want you to know just how much you are thought of and loved by all whose life you have touched with your style, grace and magic. Much Love, Diane. xo - Posted by: Diane Cudmore (Girl Friend from many, many years ago) on: Feb 14, 2012

• My dearest and oldest friend Maggie, you were taken from us far too soon. I was sure there would be many more road trips and many more laughs to be shared. I will miss you terribly and not a day will go by that I won’t think of you. My deepest condolences to Paul & Sabrina - may your wonderful memories bring you peace. Rest in peace Maggie May. - Posted by: Sylvia (Friend ) on: Feb 13, 2012

• C'est avec une grande tristesse que j'ai appris du décès de Margaret-Ann. Mes pensées d'elle m'on rappelé notre enfance et les rencontres familiales du dimanche chez Pépère. On grimpaient dans les arbres, on cueillaient les pommettes trop sures directement des branches, mais on osaient jamais cueillir des fraises sans la permission de Pépère. On montaient dans la machinerie abandonnée, loin de la surveillance de nos parents. Même si on avait peur on se glissaient dans l'étable, évitant les coins sombres. Il fallait surtout pas porter du rouge, car on croyaient que ça enragerait les vaches. On visitaient le silo, le lieu de rencontre secret des "grands". On a vieilli, on a fait chacun nos chemins dans la vie. Les dernières années on se partageaient des cartes de Noel (avec les photos d'école obligatoires de nos filles). Ce parallèle d'avoir une fille unique près du même âge semblait nous relier par un fil mince mais résistant. Mes souvenirs de Margaret-Ann sont d'une personne passionnée et excitée par la vie et les gens autour d'elle. Je croyais toujours qu'un jour on se rencontreraient pour se rattraper les évènements de nos vies. Mes pensées et mes prières sont avec vous. - Posted by: Brigitte Joyal (Cousine) on: Feb 13, 2012

• I'm sorry for you loss! She will be missed by all, Margret was the most unselfish person I knew and was the type of person that would give her shirt off her back! and not once did I see her in a bad mood! She always smiled and had a great attitude. You will be greatly missed. - Posted by: grace maris (friend) on: Feb 13, 2012

• I met Maggie at Royal Dance at the Forks where our daughters dance she reminded me of a Character from a Jackie Collins novel, Bold and sassy. Unfortunately I hadn't seen her for about 2 years and hearing of her passing was a shock to me. Your infectious energy will be missed Maggie but boy will they have a blast with you in heaven! God Bless you and you are in my thoughts and prayes Sabrina. Tracy Barraza. - Posted by: Tracy Barraza (friend) on: Feb 13, 2012
