Thelma, we miss you dearly.   You and your entire family will forever be  in our hearts.

Love, Jaimie and Dick Drinnan, Kelowna, BC






Condolences to my cousins and your families.  
We will miss our conversations with Aunt Thelma and the sparkle in her eyes when she spoke of you all and shared your lives with us.  We will miss her quick wit and wonderful sense of humour and our brief visits.   She cared deeply for her family and we know you carry her strength.  

My family and I were deeply saddened to hear of Thelma's passing. I have many fond childhood memories of Thelma, Leo and my cousins getting together with Lucy, Ernie, Terri, Dan and me. Thelma had a warm smile and a wonderful laugh and was always full of joy. She made us feel welcome, and I remember never wanting to go home! She will be missed.

On behalf of my wife Cathy and daughter Emma in North Carolina, we extend our heartfelt sympathies to the family. 

With love,
Jim Rochon

My Dearest Grandma Tilly, 
I feel so blessed to have shared a special grandmother/granddaughter relationship with you over the years.....
What a courageous and loving act  you did to take in a 17 year old(sometimes rebellious teenager!!) to allow me to go to nursing school and to settle  into life. I am sure if you were not there at that time I would be where I am today, 34 years later in my nursing career and life in general.
Oh did we laugh and share some fond memories, and of course at times you had to step up to discipline this young adult when you were in your 60's.
You were also there for me when I gave birth to my first child! Oh my, the surprise when I woke you up in the middle of the night 2 weeks early to tell you my water broke and you would need to take over caring for Kimmie, who I was babysitting while Chris and Tina moved into their new house, she was 4.
You have heard me laugh and you have heard me cry and I have learned about you and your life as a child, young woman and mature woman and I have seen you laugh and I have seen you cry.
I was very happy to have taken you in my arms one last time and thank you for all that you did for me and to tell you I love you. xoxoxo
I will miss you but I am left with my memories of you and I know that you lived a full life and that you are no longer suffering.
Rest in Peace my dear sweet Grandma.
Love you forever and always,
Until we meet again.
Rosie











o

Playing  scrabble, and watching Thelma win every time with her two letter words. Never waste an "S" and even though the "Q" and "Z" are hard to place, they're worth a lot and it's always worth being grateful for whatever hand you have.  Then I would always borrow her dictionary and try to memorize her two letter words. 

Going over for tea and shortbread cookies, and hearing about what's new with the family. 

Going to her place a few times to cook dinner, and how much she loved good food.

Watching her eyes light up whenever she held, saw or even talked about a baby. 

Reading her letters at Christmas time.

Seeing all the crossword puzzles she'd completed.

Hearing her talk about how much she loved to dance, and brag about how she got two marriage proposals.

She was an amazing, intelligent woman who lived life to the fullest and will be deeply missed.
