To Scotty, Brennie & Sharon - this world has lost a wonderful "earth" angel and is a sadder place without her. She brought a special joy in our lives and will always remember fondly the times we had together. Such as the weekend we came to visit you in Sherbrooke and we had barely stopped the car in the driveway and there was Scotty with the glasses of wine & Onie with the snacks. And that homemade wine never stopped all weekend! Or the times down at Mom & Dad's place in Porter's Lake, wine & lobsters flowing! She made us feel so special when we were with her and we will miss her laughter and that wonderful smile that always lit up her face. - Posted by: Debbie & Stuart Brink (niece/nephew-by-marriage) on: Feb 14, 2013

Lawrence, Sharon, Brenda I am very sorry to hear we lost the happiest most fun loving member of the Airth family. I have a lot of memories of Onie growing up at Nan and Pops but mostly that giggle and the cute little smile she had. I can still hear her giggling, Lawrence when you boosted her up to break into our window on Barb and I's wedding night. Still can't believe you got in. The world will definitely be a sadder place without her. We'll all miss her. Wayne - Posted by: Wayne Sheldon (nephew) on: Feb 10, 2013
