Dear Ann, Cheryl & Karen, Lynn and myself were deeply saddened to hear of our Dear Aunt Emma's passing. 
We have great memories of visits with Emma & John while we lived in Milton. We had lovely chats and teas with them both.  I remember Emma showing us her garden and offering us different plants she wished to  share with us.  We always enjoyed a chat with her now and again by telephone.  Emma will be remembered for her love of her family and her very positive thoughts to others with her kind words.
She is missed. 
Lynn & Carole


We were saddened to hear of Lou's death.  She and my mother (Jean Hamilton) were very good friends during their years of teaching together and beyond.  
I remember well dropping in to John and Lou's home in Milton and there were always muffins and coffee to be shared along with reminiscences of times past.  They were a wonderful couple and now they'll both be missed.
Delores and Bob Hamilton

To Ann, Cheryl, Karen, and families,
So sorry to hear that Lou has passed away.  She was a dear friend of my mother's and they shared many years teaching.
I have great memories of she and your Dad when they visited during my early years in Oakville, and of that great farm in Hornby!  My first introduction to livestock, and also a country concert at the church one night in Hornby with Mom and Grandma.
Lou was a kind, happy, person and I know you will miss her so very much.  
Thinking of you,
Susan (Hamilton) Fagan

Anne, Cheryl, Karen and families,
Mom and I are very sorry to hear of the passing of your mother.  She was a hard working, kind and caring woman, who enjoyed the simple things.  Her dedication to her faith was her comfort that got her through her life and kept her strong.  She held many memories in her heart and  was always able to share them with others in great detail.  The last one was the HOLY COW birthday card that she sent my mom. 
 We loved her dearly.  My mom has lost a wonderful sister in law who shared her birthday, and I have lost a loving aunt who worried more about others than herself. 
Our deepest sympathies to you.
Love Vivian and Aunt Kay

I was so very sorry to learn of Emma Lou's passing.  I have wonderful memories of visits with her at Riverside Glen.  I remember visiting and enjoying tea and cookies with her in her lovely residence.  Emma Lou was kind, wise and always positive.  On behalf of R.T.O. , I sent birthday and Christmas cards to Emma Lou and  she would always send thank you notes.  What a great lady.  I feel privileged to have known her.  She will be greatly missed.  Emma Lou spoke often and proudly of her wonderful family and I send my sincere condolences to all of you.

RIP Lou. We sat next to Lou at church each Sunday and it was always nice to talk about our families, our week or any other topics we saw fit. She always had a very positive attitude and liked to get on Albert’s case about taking communion. She was very happy to see the day he first received the bread and wine. Lou will always have a place in our hearts.

My sympathies and thoughts are with you all at this difficult time. She was a kind and loving matriarch in your family who lived a full life.

Most sincere condolences to all the Bradley family on the passing of Emma Lou. I met Emma Lou through the Lydia Snow group and had several visits with her at Riverside Glen as well as phone conversations even after I moved to Edmonton in 2021. She always remember me and often asked about my family even though she had never met them. Emma Lou was a very wise, kind and caring person and it was a pleasure to visit with her in person and talk with her on the phone. I will miss her dearly but will think of her often. Her kind words and life lessons will stay with me forever. 
Sincerely, 
Judy Rose

What a lovely lady!! I enjoyed talking with Emma at the Lydia Snow retired teachers' meetings. Before moving to British Columbia I sent her cards to tell her I was thinking of her.

We were very sad to read that Lou had died. She was one of the first to welcome us to St Stephens many years ago. We had great times at bazaars or any other activities going. She never forgot to ask about our family or my sister Nancy. We loved seeing her when she came to the church after she moved away. Rest In Peace dear Lou.

Emma (Lou) Bradley will be missed by all, she was such a lovely positive lady. 
I remember learning a few life lessons on Sundays at St. Stephens, always thinking of her fondly. 

Condolences to the family, Karen always enjoyed our brief moments as well. 
Prayers for comfort and strength during this very difficult time.

Karen, Anne and Cheryl
My deepest condolences on the loss of your mom. I have so many memories of staying at the farm when we were in high school and being part of the amazing Bradley clan through the years. Your mom was always so kind and thoughtful and I always felt she cared for everyone she knew. I will always remember Lou with a smile and a warm heart.

Dear Anne,

I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your beloved mother. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this incredibly difficult time. Losing a mother is an unimaginable pain, and I can only begin to comprehend the magnitude of your grief.

I know how incredibly close you were to your mother. The bond you shared was truly special and unlike any other. She was not just a parent to you; she was your confidante, your best friend, and your guiding light. The loss of such an incredible person leaves a void that can never be filled.  Your mother's legacy will continue to live on through the memories and the profound impact she had on your life. Cherish those beautiful moments you shared and hold them close to your heart as a reminder of her enduring love.

If there is anything I can do to help ease your burden or provide support during this trying time, please do not hesitate to reach out. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

With sympathy,
Andrea

Lou was one of my favourite people. We used to greet each other as "LB" since we both had the same initials and we would both smile or giggle. May she rest in peace.
Sincere condolences, Louise Brisbois 

To the family of Lou Bradley, we send our sincere condolences. Steve and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity of meeting Lou through St. Stephen's, it didn't take long for a friendship to begin, which we will forever cherish. Lou was like a mother to me, I will always remember her words to me when my Mom passed. With her loving hug she said it will be ok, I can be you mom now, just the words I needed to hear that day.  Lou always had a way of knowing how to make you feel better. Love you dearly Lou, Rest In  Peace until we meet again.    
Steve and Marj Coish.
