    This hits hard. Dave and Alex, I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember your mom’s smile and how welcoming she was to me. Lots of great memories. She introduced me to grilled cheese with tomato lol. That is a debt I cannot repay. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

    My deepest condolences to Steve and family. Steve I remember when she first met you and she was so happy and remarked she had finally met a perfect man. Alexis and David. I remember when you were both little living in Ancaster. Your Mom loved you sooo much and was the most amazing Mom. I remember she always warmed up your snowsuits before you wore them. We laughed a lot together about family ,work and life in general. She was so special and will be missed by all that had the privilege of knowing her. May your memories sustain you. Thinking of you all.
