Sadie was a beautiful soul, one of a kind. She touched many lives including ours. We were neighbours for many years and will never forget Sadie and Ernie. She was "Nanny Sadie" to our daughter Olivia, who has known her since she was born. They shared many good memories: "Sometimes I would go over to her house on the weekends. She often had Chickadee or Owl magazines and we would do the crafts in them."
Sadie's friendly spirit brought together the neigbours on our street. She gave so generously of herself. Her handmade birdhouses attracted praise from all who passed on the street. We think of her every time we walk past the crabapple tree she lovingly tended for so many years. On fine days Sadie would sit on her front steps, watching the world go by. We could count on Sadie and Ernie to keep an eye out for the neighbours. One time I came home from work and Sadie told me she had told off a woman who was trying to help herself to plants from our front yard! She always was a feisty one!
Rest in peace, Sadie. Say "hi" to Ernie for us. Both of you will always live on in our hearts.
Pauline, Vincent & Olivia
