Dear Lisa, Joe, Tim and David John, I am saddened to hear of aunt Emily’s passing. She was a beautiful person who adored her kids and grandkids, she beamed with pride when she spoke of all of you and all your beautiful families. You guys and the grandkids were here pride and joy. I have fond memories of your mom and dad way back in the days when they would visit our family home, you could always be sure of a good laugh, few drinks and a good old Newfie meal. I send you much love and prayers on this Easter weekend, I was so looking forward to our chat tomorrow, but I’m sure there will be a celebration in Heaven. Your mom is at peace and happy to be with the love of her life and the rest of her heavenly family forever. Stay strong and take care of each other. RIP Aunt Emily, love you sweet lady. 🙏🏼❤️

Saddened to hear of Aunt Emily’s passing. We really enjoyed our visits with her when we went to Florida & really enjoyed attending her birthday gatherings with all the family. The last time we visited with Aunt Emily was in 2020 but Covid forced us to come home earlier than we wanted to.
Please accept our condolences & will keep you all in our thoughts & prayers at this difficult time. Uncle Dave will be happy to be united with the love of his life. Take care & God bless ❤️❤️
With deepest sympathy.

Dear Joe, Tim, Lisa, David John & Family,

My deepest condolences on the loss of your mom. She will truly be missed by all who knew and loved her.
I echo Theresa Lee in saying that my dad and all of his siblings are gone now and united in Heaven. I sure
hope that they are celebrating Aunt Emily’s arrival & birthday this beautiful Easter Sunday in a big way!
And I agree with the others who mentioned that Uncle Dave is happy to be together with Aunt Emily again.
They were two people that were really meant for each other and it showed all through the years…
Mom and I will see you on Tuesday.

Take Care,
AL
