Condolences & Memories (11 entries)

• Dear Lyall, Tara (Greg), Sean (Dee); We don't know why God takes us when He does but I beleive that we are all here for a purpose and perhaps when we've served it, he rewards us with a place closer to Him. Your wife, mother and grandmother carried an air of Spiritual Health about her ALWAYS. She passed on joy to everyone around her. She'll be truly missed by all she came to meet and know..God bless you all and Cindy will rest in peace. - Posted by: Ron Cameron (Friend) on: Jul 22, 2012

• My husband, little boy, and I met Cynthia on a walk one day 3 years ago while she was having a yard sale... what luck that was. Very few times in life do you meet people who truly radiates that special light. She has that light. I wish I spent more time with her, talked a little longer at the side of the road... You'll be forever missed and always remembered. - Posted by: Jessica Angell and Family (Neighbor) on: Jul 10, 2012

• Our times go back to 1969, or perhaps before. Cindy's life was a hallmark of kindness, compassion, truth and trust. Outright laughter, great hugs, and a knowing that ties that bind can not be broken by distance or time. Our deep condolence to Lyall, Tara and Sean and extended family. Cindy was one of those angels that walk amongst us for a time. She will be missed but long remembered. - Posted by: Irv and Cath Hiller (Old friends) on: Jun 27, 2012

• We moved in next door to Cindy and Lyle one year ago. We could not believe our luck at landing next to the most faboulous people you could imagine. In no time at all we were made to feel like part of their family. We were blessed to have known her for even a short time. We will fondly remember and sadly miss her daily visit through the kitchen window. - Posted by: Val, Wayne, and Brendan (Neighbor's) on: Jun 26, 2012

• Dearest Lyall,Tara(Greg) and Sean(Dee),darling grandkids,Dakota,Brynn, Aiden my heart goes out to you now. You will miss Cindy so much; more with each passing day. My beloved sister gave me the wonderful gift of unconditional love, as well as 62 years of happy memories with her. I hold her forever in my heart as golden treasure. As sisters,friends and spiritual truth seekers we found even more in common as the years passed. It is with my heart's full gratitude for my sister's life and her sharing it so fully with me I enter these words as loving tribute to a beautiful, wonderful Old Soul. - Posted by: Ginny Tolmie (DeFoort) (sister) on: Jun 25, 2012

• My sincere condolences to Lyall, Tara & Sean, also Gord, Sue and Family. I have known Cindy since our school days, always enjoyed going to her home for visits and seeing her at reunions, etc. She was a truly beautiful person and will be missed. For those of us whose lives she has touched, we are all better for the experience. - Posted by: Margie (Johnston) Eastley (School Friend) on: Jun 25, 2012

• Lyall, Tara and Sean I'm not sure how to express my sorrow for the sudden loss of your beautiful wife and mother. I did not have a chance to know her well but what I remember most about Cindy was her laughter, kindness and honesty. I know that she can never be replaced and will never be forgotten. My thoughts, and my love, are with you and your families. - Posted by: Tasha Petrovic (Niece) on: Jun 24, 2012

• When I think about some of my favorite childhood memories they have special moments with Aunty Cindy. One of my favorites is having a watermelon eating contest at her kitchen table with my cousins. I was a cheeky little miss and I spit some seeds at Aunty - who just smiled and spit some back at me! Not at all what was expected of a grown-up and I almost choked on the rest of my ammunition through our fits of laughter. As a child, Aunty Cindy was everything I aspired to become as a woman and a mother. I send my deepest condolences to our family who are feeling the loss so greatly. "Angels be with and may sadness forget you". - Posted by: Tracey Barnett (Niece) on: Jun 24, 2012

• Cindy was a great school days friend. We spent many hours together chatting,laughing and remembering times gone by. I want to send Lyall, Tara,Sean and your families my Deepest Sympathy and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. - Posted by: Verna Lodge (Good friend) on: Jun 23, 2012

• I met Cindy the day I was reunited with Sean after giving him up for adoption 26 years prior. As time passed and I got to know Cindy & Lyle, I would say that I could not have picked out better parents to raise my son if I had hand picked them myself. Cindy was the kind of mother that everyone wishes they had, she drew people to her. She knew how to love everyone unconditionaly. She will be surely missed. - Posted by: Marilyn & Larry Vermeersch ("little sister", Sean's birth mom) on: Jun 23, 2012
