Condolences

Condolence From: Claudette and Ray Prevost
Condolence: Elaine was a strong and confident women. Growing up we only got to spend a few special days together. I always enjoyed being with Elaine. She was my age and as a first cousin, she knew just what to plan for us to do when I visited. When we got married, we only saw each other on rare occasions or family get togethers. Elaine always made time for a chat. I am so privileged to have known her and to have see the strength and positive attitude which she drew upon in her adult life. She had such courage and love to face each day as she raised her sons and helped her husband. May she rest in peace now.

Hold onto the laughter and smiles she created in your hearts. Memories of her love will keep her ever near. Sincerest heartfelt sympathy and God Bless Auntie Lorraine

Condolence From: Louann O'Dwyer
Condolence: I was privileged to share so many years and memories with Elaine as her sister-in-law. My heart is sad and broken as I know the entire family's is. Elaine was one of the bravest, strongest women I have known. Amazing memories are flooding in. Camping to Red Streak and Bow Valley, visits to the cabin, moving my mom (you helped at least twice :-)) many glasses of good wine and even more fabulous food. Elaine treated me like a sister and her wonderful support and positive attitude I will miss terribly, but I know I will feel her spirit. All my love and hugs to Rick, Matt and Greg. This is part of a song by Snatam Kaur: May the long time sun Shine upon you All love surround you And the pure light within you Guide your way on

Condolence: Who knew neighbours across the way would turn into amazing friends that felt just like family! A relationship that started with cupcakes and carrot cake, Elaine brought a sweetness and passion for life that will forevermore be with us. Her incredible stories brought insight, laughter and wisdom. Her contagious smile and warmth made her a delight to be with. A friendship all too short; blessed is our family to have had her a part of our lives. Peace be with you, Ms. Elaine.

Condolence From: Jerry Filipski and Julie Whinn
Condolence: Finding words to express heartfelt sorrow is incredibly difficult. We found inspiration in the following phrase and we feel it would be something Elaine would agree with: Don't grieve for me now, I'm free I'm following the path God laid for me If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things too I will miss. My life's been full, I've savoured much Family, friends, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me....... God wanted me now, He set me free. We love you Elaine, you will always live in our hearts and we love you too, Rick, Matt and Greg.
