SHERVILL, E. Irene – The family of E. Irene Shervill is sad to announce her passing on Wednesday, November 17th, 2010 in her 93rd year. A loving wife and mother, Rene gave her family and friends the precious gifts of kindness, generosity, loyalty and laughter. She died as she had lived, always putting the needs of others ahead of her own. She was a 35 year volunteer at Victoria Hospital and a long time member of the UCW of Robinson United Church. She is survived by her loving husband of 67 years, Robert (Bob) Newton Shervill; children Lynn (Sheila Peters), Paul (Linda), Linda Lee, and Rob (Marlyn); grandchildren Daniel, Michael, Christopher, Jessica and Tammie; and great-granddaughter Shaelene. We all thank you, Rene, for giving us a warm and welcoming place in your heart and home. Many thanks to Dr. Al Mawji and the staff at Marian Villa for their compassionate, expert end-of-life care. Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at the WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. with visitation one hour prior to the service. Private family interment will be held at Mount Pleasant Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada would be greatly appreciated.

I wish I was there to offer my support and love. You have both always been so kind and fun. So welcoming and caring. I think you have been amazing role models for many about how to love and respect your partner and family. My thoughts are with you in this difficult time, and I take comfort in the fact you are surrounded by so many good people. Dan.

Dear Grandpa and the rest oc the family: I cried and cried when I heard of Grandma's death... I was just with her a couple days before, and was glad to spend the time with her. Her memorial service yesterday was devastating, yet somehow beautiful. It was difficult to smile at people, when my heart was aching, but I somehow managed. All Grandma's friends were there for her, and that was nice to see. I know she was watching over all of us as we celebrated her life....I could feel her gentle touch on my shoulder, and hear her precious voice telling me it will be OK . I love you all, and thank you. Tammie

Dear Dr Shervill My sincere condolences at the loss of your wife. Thinking of you and sending you my best wishes and sympathy at this difficult time of year when you will be alone for the first time. Your wife passed so soon after my father, that it has taken some time to express my heartfelt sympathy to you and Linda. Wishing you peace and strength in the coming months and in the New Year. It was one of the joys of Parkwood to know you both. Sincerely, Mary Jane Bennett
