Norm & Sarah: We are so very sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom and our friend. She is a huge inspiration to everyone who ever knew her. You need to remember that she was and will always be your biggest cheer leader. Let’s all keep her memory alive and make her proud. She’ll be keeping her eye on us all.
Our dear Norm and Sarah. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you now as you say goodbye to a wonderful mother, woman, and friend. Your mom was a true spirit. Her strong will and sense of humour were qualities that made her so special. Always know that she loved you both so very much. Her spirit will always live on in you.
Norm, Sarah and the rest of Deb’s family:
I am truly sorry to hear of your Moms passing. She was a wonderful friend and I will cherish her friendship forever. If there was ever anyone that could make me laugh and look at lifes softer side it was Deb. Many a stories she has told me and at times I would laugh so hard tears would come to my eyes. She never lost that sense of humour. Even last week when I saw her she had me laugh over a serious issue I was sharing with her. She just made everything ok and that is the Deb I will remember always. Norm and Sarah your Mom loved you so much and she talked about you both as if you were up on a pedestal.She was so very proud of both of you. Always know that she will always be with you…walking every step of your lives along side you. Deb you will truly be missed and I will remember our coffee breaks forever.
Love you Girl!!!

Norman and Sarah,
My heart is breaking as I just learned of your Mom’s passing.I am so sad for you.Please know that I thought very highly of your Mother. She was always a lady with a smile and a sence of humor. Her Tim Horton days brought that humor to the surface as she dealt with the sometimes unkindly public. She always made the best of any situation and shrugged it off as”it was their problem not hers”. She dealt with life with a smile. And I admire her for her courage.She was a lady in the true sense of the word.And I will miss her as deeply as I know you will.
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.And although I am unable to attend her service, you both are in my heart. If you need anything,I am near.
God Bless you both
Brenda, Terry, Terra and Joe(little large triple triple) Burke

After They Are Gone
When someone we love passes away,
We ache, but we go on;
Our dear departed would want us to heal,
After they are gone.
Grief is a normal way to mend
The anguish and pain in our hearts;
We need time to remember and time to mourn,
Before the recovery starts.
Let’s draw together to recuperate,
As we go throught this period of sorrow;
Let’s help each other, with tender care
To find a brighter tomorrow.
