• Grandma, Even though we couldn't be there, your family in Winnipeg missed you and wished we could have seen you more. You will be missed by us all. Jeremy - Posted by: Jeremy Morin (Grandson) on: Jul 06, 2012

• Mom I don't know where to begin as you were and are and always will be everything to me. Although many miles apart you were always there for me. Your love for me and your grandchildren, Jeremy, Amanda and Alyssa were always known and felt, even across the miles, there was never a doubt in our hearts. You had many hurdles and challenges throughout your life and yet always took care of everyone else's needs, even in your darkest hours. Your strength always amazed me and you were a true inspiration. It didn't matter what you yourself was going through at any time you still had a smile, a kind word and helping hand for others. Your laughter was music to my ears. Your unconditional love, your gentle touch and never ending support never went unrecognized and unappreciated by me. You supported me through good and bad times and never judged, never had a negative word to say but always let me know you were there for me in any and all decisions and situations. You had the patience of a saint and I am so proud to be your daughter and to have the honour of you as my mother. I'm proud of the person I am today and can proudly and honestly say it was from having a role model as selfless, wonderful and caring as you. You were truly an angel on earth and you are now my brightest star above. You may be gone from this world but will never be gone from my heart. My memories I will carry with me always. You are now my special angel. You were the best of the best. You can now rest after a life of helping others. Rest in peace Mom. I love you and miss you more than words could ever say. Love You Always Kim xox A light from our family is gone A voice we loved is stilled A place is vacant in our hearts Which can never be filled. We have to mourn the loss of one We would have loved to keep But God who surely loved her best Has finally made her sleep. After a lifetime of her love and joy And music to fill our ears God leaves these wondrous memories To help us through our tears. - Posted by: Kimberley Surrette (Daughter) on: Jul 03, 2012

• Dear Mom You weren't only the most wonderful, caring, loving mother in the world but also my best friend. You were a cherished grandmother to Darrell & Kelly and your great-grandchildren Dakota, Jocelyn, Travis & Braeden. You had a special way of understanding me like no one ever has or ever will. You mean the world to me, always have & always will. I can't imagine my life without you in it. I was so lucky and fortunate to have you so close to me to laugh with, talk with and share my thoughts and life with you all these years. I will always remember all the special, caring things you did. You couldn't do enough for everyone and never asked for a thing in return. You were and always will be an amazing woman that took care of everyone's needs and never, ever thought of yourself and your own needs. You continued on tirelessly when most wouldn't be able to go on. And even then, never ever complained and always had a smile for everyone. You will be greatly missed. More than you'll ever know. I love you so much. You will be in my heart forever as you always have been. You will always be loved and never forgotten. I love you and miss you so much. Rest in peace and know I will always be here to take care of dad for you. xox - Posted by: Heather St.Laurent (Daughter) on: Jul 02, 2012

• I haven't been able to see my gramma since 2008, but even though we were provinces apart for many years of my life I knew she loved me dearly along with each one of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Any time I talked to her or when I did get to see her she was always happy and smiling, I don't have one memory of her where there wasn't a wonderful smile on her face. For such a small woman she had the biggest heart I had ever seen, she was loving, caring, generous and always cared about everyone else before herself. She will be dearly missed and will always be loved (by many I am sure). I love and miss you Gramma Surrette. Until we meet again. Forever missed, but never forgotten <3 - Posted by: Alyssa Morin (Granddaughter) on: Jul 01, 2012

• When I must leave you for a little while. Please do not grieve and shed your tears. Or hug your sorrow to you through the years, but start out bravely with a gallant smile. And for my sake and in my name, live on and do all things the same. Feed not your loneliness on empty days. But fill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer. And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near. And never, never be afraid to die. For I am waiting for you in the sky. I love you......Mom - Posted by: Tom & Eva Rideout....Victoria, BC (Friends of Margaret and husband D'Arcy.) on: Jun 29, 2012

• My deepest condolences to Kim and the family. Your memories of her will always keep her close in spirit and thought....she'll always be in your hearts. "We are spiritual beings having a human experience and so as Mary's spirit continues its journey into the next chapter of a magnificent book, take comfort in the fact that this isn't the end, but a new beginning.....it is not goodbye but a temporary pause in time and you'll meet again." - Posted by: Julie Stevens (friend of Kim) on: Jun 27, 2012

• We have known Marg for quite a few years, as they went back & forth to Winnipeg. Tom & D'Arcy worked together for some time in the Comisionaires at the Dockyard...and many a cup of coffee we have had at their home. God Bless the Family. - Posted by: Tom & Eva Rideout....Victoria, BC (Friends) on: Jun 26, 2012

• Mrs. Surrette was a loving, kind wowman who went out of her way to always make you feel welcomed and excepted. She was always seen to put her personal needs aside when it came to aiding others. She was a fine lady who will surely be missed by anyone who ever had the honor and pleasure of knowing her. I believe that God has a special place in heaven saved for the fine woman. - Posted by: Rick Morin (Friend) on: Jun 25, 2012

• Farewell beautiful lady. Your days were done on earth and time to start and plan your new journey in a kinder world.

God received a new angel on this day. - Posted by: Debbie Chalus (Friend of daughter Kim.) on: Jun 24, 2012

• So sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. My thoughts are with all the family at this difficult time. Edna Parenteau, Victoria, B.C. - Posted by: Edna Parenteau (Cousin) on: Jun 24, 2012

• In early June I made the trip to Victoria and was able to visit with my grandmother. She was having a few really good days while I was there. She stayed up the whole time listening to our stories and reminiscing about loved ones from her younger days. She always made the best company, giving you her full attention and making you feel like you were the most important person in the room. This remained true even in her final days. She was a beautiful person in every way possible and will be dearly missed by her family and loved ones. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to see her before she passed and will keep those memories close to my heart always. We miss you grandma and love you more than words can express.
