If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joy.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Miss and Love you Mom!!!

There are certain people that leave a lasting impression in our lives,my aunt was certainly one of those people,one of the many things that I loved about my aunt was how much she always worried about everyone else before her self,even in her last couple of days of life when I visited her with my family she was concerned and felt bad that she could not get up to make coffee or a dessert for us. My loving aunt thank you for being a great part of our lives and showing us by the example of your life how important family is. Until we all meet again one day in heaven may God continue on blessing both you and your faimly,with love always your nephew Tim and family Claudia,Liana and Tiago simao...

Alda, we know that you were so glad that your family was able to be there for you and we hope that you are without pain now. Be free.

~ Lauren MacDonald & Val Duhaime

Alda, although I have only known you and your family for 15 years, you always made me feel like I was one of your own. Even through the toughest of times, you remained positive, upbeat, happy, and grateful. You never let anything shake your values. A true testament to who you were and what you believed in. You have taught all of us, in your own quiet way to appreciate what we have, most especially our families and our close friends. I wish I could have known you longer, but I will always appreciate and cherish the time we spent together. Love always Ian.

~ Ian Mackay
