Dear Sybil, Sorry to have missed you when you dropped by. I was preoccupied all week with the two quick service Mexican places I operate and wasn't at Bonfire much so got your note on Thursday morning. Meredith had sent us the obituary and I would have attended the service, but we are in the middle of renovating my parents' cottage at Caddy Lake and had to be there to meet with the contractor. What a devastating double loss for you and your family this has been. I wish you strength and comfort during your grieving. My memories of growing up in Wildwood and the wonderful community of close friendships fostered there will always remain some of my fondest memories. Love and peace, Duncan - Posted by: Duncan Grant () on: Jun 16, 2016

I have had the pleasure of knowing the Bagshaw Family since meeting Lindsay in Junior high. My heart goes out to you and your family having such loss in such a short time. I remember a very close knit family with a lot of love for each other and others who they touched in our community. I wish your family wonderful memories and continued strong ties. I know you will always have Stacey and Ted with you as you continue your journey through this great experience we call life. - Posted by: Patricia Stuckless (Friend) on: Jun 13, 2016

I was so glad that I inadvertently came across the information about the memorial service for Ted and Stacy in time to attend. I feel that I shared a very small fraction of the life of the Bagshaw family but it left an imprint on me. Ted would always drive me home after I babysat for them and we had some of the most lovely discussions. I can't remember a specific topic but I remember feeling that I mattered as a person to him. He was truly a unique individual. Sybil told me many stories about his life and what led up to their marriage. I was not aware that Tim was born 9 months after they got married. That is an interesting fact. I was the babysitter for all three children but I somehow felt I was there for Stacy. I remember putting her to bed with the brace that would have made it difficult to do anything but lie on her back. She had the sweetest buck teeth and never seemed to mind or resist what had to be done. It was a great lesson to me to not show the sadness I felt at having to be the person who put the brace on. I left the country in 1976 and did not see Stacy again until I dropped by to visit when she was getting ready to go to Grad. I was so impressed by her. Sybil, Tim, Lindsay, Warrick, Connor and Hamish, I offer you my sincerest condolences on your loss but it so true that the people you love continue to live on through you. As I mentioned earlier my time with the Bagshaw's wasn't long but through the service today I learned that you had a great family life and I feel that will sustain you now and in the future as you go on with your lives. You are in my thoughts Ianthe Warner - Posted by: Ianthe Warner (Babysitter in the 70s) on: Jun 11, 2016

My condolences to the entire Bagshaw, McGee & Gabriel Family. Ted was a very patient & loving man during my entire life growing up in Wildwood Park with my best friend Lindsay. Stacy was always a wonderful & joyful little girl despite any complications she had. There are no words to express how sorry I feel for everyone's loss but I know they are in heaven.
