Christine, who I have known as Ida, was a member of the Order and was loved by all.  She was always welcoming to her and Sonny’s home, no matter the circumstances.  I will always remember her smile and her kind heart.  I know you are going to a better place.  Peace and God’s blessings.  Farewell my Sister.

Saddened to hear about Christine's passing. I grew up on Hazelglen next door to Christine and Peter until I was about 10. I have so many fond memories of this beautiful soul that have stuck with me all these years later. We ran into them several years back and I couldn't believe how she remembered me. Sending love to Christine's family. ❤

My sincere condolences to Uncle Sonny, Ken Marjorie and all the family. I pray that God will  give you all the strength during this difficult time.  I will never forget the love and kindness you both showed me when I  arrived in Kitchener as a young 16 year old girl.  
Remember, when your strength weakens always remember that God will hold you up and never let you down.  May God bless and keep you all.  Love always,  



We are truly sorry for your loss. We would like to offer your family our deepest  condolences  during this time of sorrow. You have our deepest sympathies and our unending love 🙏- The Reynolds Family

My sincere condolences to Peter Irish and the family on the passing of Christine (Ida) Irish.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during these sad times.

May her soul rest in eternal peace.

Love from Arabella Davis

Ida ( Christine  ) I  will always remember Ida for many reasons. One of,  she was the third person that my wife, Viola, and I met when we came to Canada in the Spring of 1976. She and her husband, Sonny,  were neighbors and on a warm Sunday evening whilst walking in the neighborhood of Victoria Hills we met and spoke. She greeted us with her infectious smile and welcomed us to the neighborhood, province and Canada. We're assured of her welcome in the presence of The Lord by His Spirit " absent from the body:present with The Lord God " Rest in peace. Winston/Venetta. 

To my beloved Auntie Ida, 

I thank God for your life, you were a truly inspirational, thoughtful, loving and kind-hearted aunt. You will be greatly missed.

May your soul rest in eternal peace.

I want to extend my sincere condolences to Uncle Sunny, Ken, Auntie Marjorie, Uncle Ron and the rest of the family. 

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

OUR thoughts goes out with sadness in the passing of a dear friend Ida, who had a magnetic personality, kind and courteous. She will be remembered always of the wonderful times we enjoyed of having herself and husband Peter as travelling companions. You will be missed.

My sister in law was always there for me when I arrived in Canada as a young lady not yet twenty one yet she took me under wings and did for me what mothers do for a daughter, you are no longer with us but I will always remember the wonderful years we spent together. You are no longer with but I will want to say a special thank for the sixty plus you spent alongside my brother and for all the wonderful things you did for me.May your soul Rest In Peace, you will be missed.

Aunty Ida was a wonderful lady, full of love and laughter. She always had a kind word. In her latter days, she was aware of her failing health, yet she remained joyous and faith-filled. She was an inspiration. Memories of her will always bring a smile.

May God wrap Uncle Sonny, Kenneth, Aunty Marj and the rest of the family in his loving arms, giving comfort like only He can.
