Lynn and Dale,
Even though I was really young when we moved from Owen Sound, I still remember your mom and Aunt Shirley, they always we so kind and full of life! Always had a smile on her face and so gracious. I am truly sorry for your loss but she has been blessed to move on in her journey and be in a better place to watch over you all. 
May God be with you all and comfort you in this difficult time. 
Love your cousin Faith Lyons (Alex's youngest daughter)

As time does so quickly pass by. it seems like yesterday that I was growing up with 5 beautiful sisters, 3 brothers  and David. A mother that taught us to respect and love one another and a father who was a great patriarch, who taught us all good work ethics.I am very proud to be of Irish ancestory  and remember back when Betty and Shirley would play the piano and we all sang the ethnic songs together.It was Betty and Shirley that helped to raise me and brother Bob.Betty was always very quiet but always there to give a  willing hand.I know it must have been hard on Betty, Dale and Lynn when their Dad left them, but I never heard Betty complain abt raising her kids alone!I love my sister Betty with all my heart and will look forward to meeting her in Heaven. I will hug her and tell her how much I love her, something that we don't do enough of in this life.may God continue to bless her. My condolences to her children and their families. Love always Alex Lyons

Lynn I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. Betty was an amazing woman. Hugs to you.

Lynn and Dale and families,
Sorry to hear of your mother's passing, 
I am reminded of  the light and warmth of your mother.
I remember her genuine kindness, her goodness and her worth.
These memories never die and over the years her smiling face, sweet voice of song and fun times at the piano will never be forgot. She loved and enjoyed her family and grandchildren.  She was a gentle soul and is with the angels in a better place.  Gail Acton

Lynn and Dale, 
My heart goes out to you and your family! I was so sad when Dad called to tell me of Aunt Betty's passing. Time sure has a way of getting away from us - while viewing the photos online, brings me right back in time - a flood of beautiful memories of time spent with your family!! Aunt Betty was always so very kind and gracious to me - I was blessed to have her as my Aunt!!!
May God bless you and comfort you through this difficult time. I send my love and prayers!!! 
Love your cousin Luci
