Condolences to the family in this time of terrible loss. As a friend of Nerdev’s for over 30 years, I will remember her witty sense of humor, her remarkable graciousness, and most importantly her great love of family.  She brought her tenacious spirit to everything she did including her battle with cancer. I will miss you my dear friend and be forever inspired by you.

Jas - we extend our deepest condolences on the passing of Nerdev.  You and Nerdev ("The Princess") have always considered us part of your extended family. For that we are honored.  We have shared a lot of fond memories with her. These are moments we will forever cherish.  I know these are difficult times and having gone through it with my dad a couple of years ago, it is not easy. In time the sadness will be replaced with the great memories that you two have forged.  Remember to take care of yourself.  Give us a buzz when you want to chat.     -  The Engs - Tom, Suzanna and the Boys

We are so very saddened to hear the passing of Nerdev. Our Sincere Condolences to You, the Girls, Families and Friends. There is nothing I can say to console after such a loss. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you all. My fond memories of Nerdev, her smile, friendship and kindness will remain with us forever.  

Dear Taryn. Our warmest loving thoughts are with you. We are looking forward to you returning to Kingston so we can wrap you in hugs. No doubt you’ve been strong for everyone around you, a rock to those who needed support.  We will be ready to be your rock when you need us. To you and your entire family, our most sincere condolences. Love. Marie and Steeve xxxxxxx

It's hard to believe such a strong, resilient person could be taken much too early. Nerdev was so caring, so generous, and so thoughtful. She instantly made you feel like family, with her warmth and concern for your wellbeing. I remember countless delicious dinners, day trips to provincial parks, and small Island towns, and good chats about future plans. My mom thought so highly of her and our whole family will miss her dearly. 

It was obvious that Taryn, Asha and now her two grandsons were her pride and joy. I know you will carry her legacy forward and continue to make her proud. We're sending all our love to your family during this time of intense grief. 

I am so honoured to have known Nerdev.  She was who we should all aspire to be and truly she was a beautiful soul. Strong and intelligent,  standing up for what she believed in, but SO full of love and compassion for all. And oh how she loved her family. She was always incredibly proud of them and I always loved seeing photos and hearing stories. Her presence here will be missed by all, but indeed a great soul never dies. I send so much love to you Jas, and to your kids and family. 

We're all so saddened by the sudden loss of our dear friend, and our hearts go out to all of the family.  We shared many happy memories with Nerdev and she will remain in our hearts forever.   Rest in peace  dear Nerdev.  Love and prayers from the Nikolic family.   

Our deepest condolences to a loving family. We know Nerdev wrapped her heart around all of you and was very proud.  Sending you all our love.

I knew Nerdev from 15 years ago when I was new in Canada. My family and I had the privilege of staying with her family at their home in Nanaimo. I got to know her well. Every time  I meet her, she would always have that gentle smile on her face. She was indeed a very hospitable and  lovely person, full of kindness and life.  I shall miss you dearly.  Rest In Peace my friend.  ❤️

I have had the pleasure of meeting Nerdev as Taryn and Daniel were about to get married in 2010. She struck me as being a strong, wise and loving woman who cared deeply about people around her. All our family is deeply sorry for her passing and are all-heart with you in these difficult times.

We'll always remember Nerdev as fiercely loving, supportive, generous, and strong. It was a true honour to be even a small part of her life. From the moment I met her, shortly after arriving in Canada, she treated me like family, and she was family to us in the 13 years we knew her. She hugged and helped us in times of need, and cheered from the rooftops in times of celebration. We'll love and miss you always, Nerdev. May you rest in grace and peace. With love, from Kathryn, Barrie, Hannah, and Fern Loydall xxx
