Dear Louise and family,

Heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved mom. Louise, I have come to know you as a truly dear and loyal friend to my own mother (and me!). Reading these tributes to your mom speaks to the incredible qualities you share with her - a generous heart, full of love, compassion and caring for others. I am so grateful to your mom (and dad!) for passing these on to you. Such a wonderful legacy. May she rest in peace.

With love and support. Jane and Brian

Adorable 🥰 plus she could knit up a storm

My Dear Auntie Ef!

Only the God Lord knows the love I have had for you!!

From your "Op Shop" days when the "care packages" came!

Those days were better than Christmas!! You always included something to make me look cool, my long blue Swede vest and my Swede fringed jacket, I was the coolest at school!! You made me feel special and I appreciated it so!!!

All the times at Mom and Dad's, you were like a magnet, if you were home I was there!!

So many wonderful times from Icelandic cakes, to jams and relish!

You and Mom were into it all!!

The many laughs around the tables and the jokes that we would hide

I cherish every memory as I did you!!!

God bless you.

I will always miss you!

I am so sorry to hear of Auntie Effies passing. When we were young we spent many days at your house. Auntie Effie fixed my head when i flew off the step on a windy day. Always tried to become friends with Trixie. It has been many years but we fondly remember all the memories. All my love

Mom how those 3 simple letters hold a world of love. Mom you and Dad laid a strong foundation. You lead by example. Teaching us love, respect, empathy, honesty and compassion. I remember thanking you for teaching me how to cook and bake,..yet you had to teach yourself all those things.

Someone dear to me once said "your Mother (you) taught me how to love my children" ..the ultimate compliment. I will always remember you making us porridge each morning. tucking our mitts in the cuffs of our jackets...coming home to fresh baking cooling on the bread board. Family always came first for you. I am so thankful for our long distance telephone conversations. That I got to tell you how thankful and proud I was to have a Mom like you. I miss you Mom and love you forever. Jeremy won't be lonely in heaven with his Grandma with him.

Grandma was a steady presence in my life, always full of love for everyone.

Like her, I had twins and felt incredibly fortunate to have had Grandma by my side during the ultrasound when we found out. Unlike Grandma, who didn’t learn she was having twins until the day they were born! I remember all the grandkids and great grandkids measuring ourselves against her, eagerly anticipating the day that we became taller than her (we didn't have to wait long). My kids, her great grand children remember the hours she would play with them in her basement, always willing to role play in what ever game they can imagined up! I always enjoyed helping her take the clothes off the clothes line and remember the fresh smell of the laundry once it came inside. I remember the great sense of humour she had and her love for all things from Newfoundland. Most of all, I remember how she loved me so. Hoping she is at peace and with my brother. Love you always Tracey, Jason, Ryann, Emma and Logan.

We are so sad to hear about the loss of your mom.
It's even more difficult being so close to Christmas. We have so many wonderful memories .
Your Mom and Dad would come to visit us when we had our twins and Rhonda was just three yeas old, I was a little worse for wear. They felt so sorry for us and would brought us ice cream . That sweetened the day. Your mom pitched in to help any way she could. She was marvelous. There are so many more wonderful memories. Through the years they have alway had a special a place in our hearts and left us with beautiful memories. Your mom will be sadly missed. We loved her so much. ❤️ Many Blessings,
Marjorie and Vic Reykdal

We're sorry to hear of Auntie Effie's passing and know how hard it'll be for her family. (Particularly at this time of year.) Always keep her memory in your hearts. (Like we have been doing by recalling her visits with Trixie to Grandma's house on Oak Street.) Thinking of you, Jennifer (Tony) & Jim (Cindy) and her great great nieces and nephews Chelsea, Jake, Grace, and Jack.

Oh my beautiful Momma...how truly blessed I am for God to have chosen you as my Mom.

What cherished memories I have forever imbedded in my heart.

I know you sacrificed so much to provide me with all I had growing up.

Especially Christmas... "Santa " always brought whatever I asked for.

Mom, you were there for me as I became new Mom. How lucky I was to learn the art of motherhood through you and to pass that on to my beautiful daughters Lisa and April. Because Mom, they too are amazing Mothers due in part to you. The wonderful memories your Great Grandson's Liam, Finley, Jack and Luca have as well. What a impact you made in our hearts and minds.

we had so many fun adventures together from a Mediterrain cruise, to the fun business trips you accompanied me on, to my learning to be a Mom and Amma....you were there.

My heartfelt thank you to my Wombmate Lois who led the care for you in your later years. . we did our best to provide you with love and comfort. I know Nadine and I will be forever grateful for all of this to Lois.

how I love my Mom💖. You are my forever. RIP Mom and tell Dad we love him too.

Dear Mom

,

For as long as I can remember, you have been by my side.

To give me support

To give me help

For as long as I can remember, you have always been the person I looked up to.

So much of what I have become is because of you and I want you to know that I appreciate you, thank you and will always love you.

Life doesn’t come with a manual.

It comes with a mother.
