Auntie Lil, that how I always knew her. I am so deeply sorry for your loss, Janet, Sheila and Karen. I always loved the story of when Mum (Nettie)was expecting me and mum had gone beyond her due date. Lil told her that baby is going to be born on my birthday. Well, that’s what happened on December 17th, 1949. I was with her and Jack a few days before I had my first child and it was spent with love and laughter. My parents Pierre and Nettie adored her and Jack. They shared an apartment as young married couples while Pierre and Jack were finishing up at McGill. For Mum & Lillian, it was a friendship that went back to their childhoods in Ottawa. I know how much she was proud of her girls and her grandchildren, always devoted to them and their families.

She will be missed.

Dearest Sheilah,

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family on the passing of your dear Mum, Lillian, a truly wonderful person. In the few years that we knew her we became great friends and it was a privilege to know and love her.

May she rest in peace,

What a lovely tribute for your Mum. I remember that when I lived in Toronto and would go home to Montreal I always went to visit your parents in Dollard. Aunt Lillian (and Uncle Jack) were always so kind and welcoming. We would sit around the kitchen table and laugh. They would always fill me in with your latest accomplishments.They were so proud of all of you and only had positive things to say. One of my fondest memories were the Christmases our families spent together. We laughed hysterically at our father's raucous behaviour while our Mum's tried to regain control with smiles on their faces. Although I had not seen Aunt Lillian in a few years I kept in touch regularly by phone. She always asked about my kids and how Deb and Rob were doing. She showed keen interest in her family. Every conversation ended with "I love you Kathy". I will miss Aunt Lillian and hope all your happy memories give you comfort in the future. With sadness and love, Kathy

Sheila, I see the mother in the daughter.

My deepest condolences on your loss.
