Addy was one of my best friends. One of the things I loved most about her is her smile. Her smile could spread all the way to space. I'm really going to miss her and I will always remember her smile.

Hi everyone, I am Veronica. When I heard of Addys passing I immediately started balling my eyes out. She was one of the strongest people ever. No matter what anyone she was a rock. She was stronger than anyone combined. Also when a watched her service I cried for about 3 hours after too. I miss her so much :(

My name is Abby Logel and I was so sad when I head that Addy had passed and am praying for her and her family. I was in Addys class for 3 years and would sometimes sit with her, and her friends. I would also like to say that Adds friends cared and loved her so much and am so sorry for them. Addy I know for a fact that you will you will be remembered always until we meet again.

I still can’t beleive that addy passed. We all will miss her everyday and on. I will always remember the times we played wax museum and charades! Although I was not very good at it addy was very good at it. I tell you that no one could beat her. I will also remember her for her contagious smile and laughter. I miss u so very much addy!

I was shocked and saddened when I heard that Addy had passed away this summer. I remember her fondly coming into the Library at noon hour with two of her friends and hanging out. She was always smiling and respectful of the space and people around her. When her class came into the Library to borrow books for the week they would also help younger students with reading. She had her own special reading buddy and shared her gift of reading with a younger students. I offer my condolences to her family, friends and all those she met in her lifetime. May she be at peace with our loving Father in Heaven.

A beautiful smile and such a positive force. Addy’s circle of friends were loyal and fiercely devoted to her. She attracted good people like a magnet with her personality. My favourite memory of her was the day the sport chairs arrived and Addy was first to arrive to class. She got to pick first which chair she’d like, and true to her funky new hair, she selected the chair that stood out in the crowd, a beautiful turquoise speed demon. She was so happy in that moment. During our wheelchair basketball unit, she was so proud to be better at something than most students were in Phys Ed. She joined the teacher team against students in a basketball game and absolutely glowed. Addy impacted so many of her peers, teachers, and assistants in such a positive way. She demonstrated humour when faced with inequality, forgiveness when faced with ignorance, and the choice of love and kindness when faced with tough circumstances. What Addy taught us will be her legacy, and I see that making a real difference in the future lives of those who were closest to her.

Thirteen years is not a lot of time, but for Addy it was time that was spent demonstrating to everyone, and especially our school community, how to live one’s life with determination, courage and kindness. We are all better people for having Addy in our lives. As Addy’s grade two teacher, I will always remember Addy’s huge smile that she greeted us with every day. I especially remember that smile when she came down the slide at the science centre with her Grandma holding her tightly. My love and prayers to all Addy’s family, friends and everyone she blessed with her presence.

Shanna & Kadence, I am so very sorry to hear about Addy’s passing. She was a sweet, happy, loving girl, and a pleasure to be around. Shanna, you were the best mom those girls could have ever wished for! Life may have thrown a lot of challenges their way, but you were the greatest gift they were given!

To my sweet little Make-A-Wish kid, Addy! Life was more beautiful with you in it, and I'm so glad I got to put a smile on your face and happy memories in your heart, for both you and your sister. You earned those beautiful wings, Addy! Fly high, sweet girl! You will forever be missed, but never forgotten!

Addison was an extraordinary young women who had many great qualities. She was someone who was incredibly strong despite the challenges she faced. She was fearless to do the things she loved despite life working against her. She was so kind and considerate of others. Overall, she was such a charismatic and adoring girl, and it would always be a blast when she was around.

Addison was so strong and very admirable for the way she handled her struggles. She was such a role model for the people around her and such an inspiration. She was someone that you wanted to get to know better and spend time with because of her contagious smiles and giggles.

We are so terribly sorry to hear about the loss of such an amazing person, but we know she will forever be in our hearts and souls. Kathy, Gord, Lisa, Aimee, Jesse and written by Cayla.

As Addison and Kadence's Kindergarten teacher, the girls were always so close to my heart. I watched Addison grow up from a tiny little 5 year old to the extraordinary young lady she became. Her strength, determination and smile were an inspiration to all who knew her. Heaven has a beautiful new angel and her radiant smile will be missed in halls of OLQP. Love Mrs. Lauzon

She definitely lit up a room when she came in. All of us girls loved having her around us at the salon. So sweet, polite and her smile was the best...you could see it across the room. Watching her dance with her sister was amazing. She was so talented. I am so happy to have that memory of Addy.

Addy was a ray of sunshine in anyone’s life who met her. She was a tough, brave and determined child whose smile made everyone around her smile. And her laugh, we all loved her laugh!

When Addy and her sister Kadence were riding in the program I taught at, volunteers would argue who would get to work with Addy and Kadence.

It didn’t matter if Addy was having a good day or a not so good day, she was always smiling and always trying. If I was having a bad day Addy and Kadence always make it a little better for me.

Having known Addy is a gift that I will always treasure. ❤️

Brenda

I will always remember her beautiful smile. Despite her challenges, I never saw her without a big smile or giggles. She lived life with zest and had amazing energy. The girls have left and amazing footprint on pretty much everyone that met them. You, Addy, will live on in everyone’s hearts. Your life may have been short, but you were born into an amazing family filled with so much love

XOXO Rest In Peace Beautiful Addison XOXO

Much Love, Dana Fischer

We will miss your beautiful face and laughter
