Sorry for your loss Tony, and sorry this is so late. Your mother was always a joy, even if she wasn't impressed with us at times. With her brother John and sister Trudy, she was always smiling. She always pampered you, I remember us camping for the weekend in waterton, and shed pack you up with tins of cookies and enough food for a week. She meticulously dusted all your models (plastic car models that is). you and I rode our bikes the hendredson lake early in the morning. you forgot the plugs for your dingy. You had me ride up to the store where there was a pay phone, and I called your mom to bring them to me, and she did even thought it was before 6am on a weekend. Hope you're doing well Tony.
Just thinking of ya brother and we all hope you're doing ok Tony. We know you're missing your mom. Take care and stay safe. J.C.

Tony, from myself and family to you and yours, we are so sorry for your loss and we know that so many people will miss your mother. Seeing you and speaking with your mother last week, brought back so many nice and wonderful thoughts and memories of all the times she drove you and us up to the west side lake to go fishing after school, while in Jr. High. The conversation I had with her last Friday will stick with me forever and I know her words will always bring a smile to my face, every time I think of them. J.C.
