Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. It’s said that some people “light up a room” and you truly did, with your wonderful humor and sense of fun. Dance with Uncle Eddie to the pipes, and let the drams flow freely!

  2. Evelyn,
    You have so many wonderful memories and have even shared a few with us. We are sorry for your loss. May you hold near and dear the memories of yesterday and yesteryear.

  3. ugh, my heart hurts to see this. Jean and Eddie were the lives of the party for our neighborhood ! Always laughing, dancing, hugging everyone, and teaching us what a good stiff drink was ! They loved their children and grandchildren with all of their hearts and unconditionally. My love and prayers to them. Knowing that Jean and Eddie are reunited helps to take the sting out of her passing.
    My love always, Lena Pallini-Hancy xoxoxoxo

  4. So sad to hear about Jean. Condolences to you all from your family in East Kilbride. We are sure Jean is singing “Sentimental Journey” to Eddie. We will remember the happy times in the past and be thinking of you all on Saturday.

    Love from May and John, Ian and Margaret, Stewart and Mary, Anne and Iain

  5. Evelyn and family,

    How I miss the ‘spunk’ that was so much part of your dear mum’s life and her spirit. Chris and I pray that she is now with your dad and they are now reunited in love, holiness and forever more.

    May the Good Lord hold you all close and the memories of what a great life your mum had lift your spirits.

  6. Dave,

    My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. It is never easy to lose a parent and there is no one else in this world as special as a mother. A mom is always with us, first in her lifetime, then she lives on in our memory forever. Sending much love your way.

    Chris Schryer

  7. Aileen, Evelyn, and David,

    Very sorry to hear about your Mom. I know you will find comfort in the memories your Mom and Dad have provided your family over the years.
