Eva Norida Hartley

I am writing this on behalf of Heather and Sheila, from Sudbury, Ontario and my dear close friend Lloyd Jr. Eva Hartley was an incredible person with a warm heart and a caring spirit. She raised 10 beautiful children , through very hard times and always did it with a smile on her face. I remember spending many good times in her home, at Xmas and throughout the year and she would go out of her way to make everyone feel welcomed. She will be sadly missed. And when I look at her picture, she was and is, incredibly beautiful. Eva , Rest in Peace and God Bless

It is with a very sad heart I send my deepest condolences to all of Eva's family. I will always consider you all my brothers & sisters as we grew up so closely, especially Marilyn who was my best friend and constant companion throughout all our school years. Your mom was a beautiful, loving & caring woman who made each of us feel welcomed & just part of the family. I was there so often I think she finally figured I was just one of the family. I have thought of her & all of you so often over the years. I am so sad for your great loss but I know all the happy memories will live forever in your hearts & in all of us whose lives she touched. Sending much love to you all from me and my parents who also were so sad to hear of Eva's passing. Judy Skwarek Hunda xo

My heartfelt condolences to the Hartley family. I know Eva will be sorely missed. She was a sweet, gentle, kind soul and loved her family unconditionally. Rest in peace Eva.

Allen,I am so sorry to hear about your Mother's Passing.I never your mother but I understand she was a very caring person.Please keep in touch when you get back. OSS Ray D.

Mom, You gave me life and turned a baby into a man. All you had to offer was your love as you beared your own pain and suffering without ever complaining. When you were ill, Wanda would take care of me and raised me and my love to my sister as I had two moms. Now I know there is no other love like a Mother's love for I have never walked in your shoes, so who am I to judge what love you had the strength to give. I dreaded this day mom, even with closure, laughing and talking about you going to heaven as I feel empty. Today, I cannot visit you at the Dearness, hold your hand, sing to you, kiss you and share stories. I knew at times you could not respond, but knew you could hear me and feel my presence. All I ever needed mom was for you to tell me you loved me and you did. I know you were never told as a child, that you were loved, but you moved forward in time and told me and my siblings you loved us and I thank you. Mom, how I miss our drives to NS a few times, when we went to Niagra Falls for the wknd and laughed and shared stories, as we walked and I held your hand to keep you safe. Now, I cannot say good bye to you as I cannot bear the pain. God and his Angels called you mom, and someday I will see you at the Pearly gates. Love forever more, your son Craig. PRSN lol....xoxoxo

My heart and thoughts go out to my uncles and aunts during his time of grieving, as well as to my other cousins and family members. Gramma Eva was an exceptionally unique and unforgettable woman inside and out, and her memory lives on within each of us. I know for myself I have many wonderful memories of Gramma Eva that I will cherish always until the day I see her again in heaven. Much love, always and forever, your granddaughter Adora xoxo

I wish to say that you will be missed everyday of my life as we were together that often. Your children and grandchildren, plus great grandchildren will miss you as well. Your son-laws will have no one to tease anymore and your daughter-in-laws will miss your motherly advice. Your brother Ronald says he will see you in heaven, when he gets there, he took your passing very hard. So mom, you will never be forgotten. We all loved you. I say goodnight to you every evening at my bedtime. Miss you, Wanda

The dreaded phone call was received and everything changed. Death has a way of impacting everyone differently and lives are often forever changed by the impact. My mother........for so long suffered in a type of silence many of us will never know and now she suffers no more. I have a very pleasant memory of my last visit with my mother and the images will always remain. My mother's passing brings many things to mind and each of her children and those they love will hopefully take from the experience what they will to find their own inner peace. I will celebrate my mother's new beginning with a Meatball Sandwich from Cortina Pizza, and a can of Coka Cola which was one of her favorite treats. She would savor them from her porch seat on 1291 Martindale Road. I hope you found Howard he would be very happy to see you! Sad for me but happy for you mom. Your loving Son Gary & Wife Vickie
