Deanna, Bill and family,
We are so very sad to hear that your Mom has passed on. Deanna, you are the most remarkable daughter a Mom could hope for – kind, caring, thoughtful, loyal and a wonderful sense of humour to boot. I hope you know that your Mom will be entering this new journey with many fond memories and feeling very much loved. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We hope that caring friends will help to bring you comfort in this time of sadness and share in the grief of your loss. We hope you will treat yourselves with the kindness that you so willingly and selflessly give to so many others. In sympathy, big hugs, geri & mark
I didn’t know Ila (or Norm for that matter) very well but I know from my grandpa (Lloyd Durr) how important family can be and I know the Durr’s and the extension of that family will comfort each other through this tough time.
The good thing about people is that we have memories and we can share stories and that no one is truly lost as long as we hold onto these. The memory and spirit of Ila will live on forever.
In great sympathy,
Adam
Aunt Ila,
We did not get a chance to see you as often as we would have liked in the last years, but you and Uncle Norm were a very important part of our lives as we grew up. Your bright smile, your endearing laugh and your warm hugs will be with us forever. We did not get a chance recently to tell you how much you are loved by us all but we know you can hear us now. Aunt Ila, we love you dearly and we will miss you very much but we will always carry a part of you in our hearts. God bless.
Max, Deanna, and Darlene, as difficult as it is for us to lose a dear aunt, we know our loss cannot compare to the loss you must feel. We wish you all the strength, love, and caring you will need during this time, and we know you will all have it in abundance because you were given all of that and more from such a wonderful mom.
God bless you all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you cope with your loss. Sincerely, Bruce & Carolyn & Marion and family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Deepest sympathies, Deanna and family. You are in my prayers.
