So so sorry to hear about your mom she was an amazing women. We sure had some good times with her and your dad, they are now together, may they rest in peace. My condolences to the family.

Dear Jocelyn, Darren and families: I was saddened to hear about the loss of your mother. Since childhood and up until I saw her about 6 plus months ago, she was a true friend and one of the kindest ladies I ever knew. As of recent years, our meetings would usually take place in the grocery store, and she always had and wanted 10 to 20 minutes or so to talk. She never complained and thought of others always. She will truly be missed, but I will always hold her friendship and Love in my heart. Please remember all of the good times you had with her and nothing bad, for her suffering on this earth is over and she is in the arms of our Lord, truly experiencing His unconditional Love, the Love she always tried to show. And Elda, I will sincerely miss our meetings. Eternal Rest grant unto Elda, Oh Lord, and may Your Perpetual Light shine upon her. God bless.

I am so sorry for your loss. We remember many visits to the house on Brown and the cottage. What a lovely spot? We enjoyed wonderful chats about family and great laughter during cards. We will miss her kindness and beautiful smile. We will be thinking of your family today during her celebration of life.

Our condolences to the family Elda was a wonderful lady she will be greatly missed Peter and Susan Mclean

Jocy and Darren I was very sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I left Kirkland Lake many years ago but my mother would frequently tell me that she saw your Mom around the town. Our deep sympathy to you and your family. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Lori and Pete

Jocy & Darren, Aunt Elda was a special fun loving lady who was easy and enjoyable to chat with. I have many great memories of our family get-togethers and functions over the years. Your Mom was nurturing and hospitable when I spent the summer in your family home in 1972, while working as a summer student for the ONR. Your Moms positive attitude, gentle and caring nature, and beautiful smile will always be remembered and dearly missed. Sincerely, Greg Hayes

Darren and Jocy your mom was such a wonderful person. I am sorry for your loss. I will always remember her smiling and laughing. She was moms best friend and I’d like to think of them together with all our family- happy and at peace.

So sorry to hear of Elda’s passing. Please except our condolences. We are thinking about you all during this hard time. Maurice and Carlene Duval

Dear Jocey and Darren; David and I send our heartfelt condolences to you both on the passing of your Mom. Aunt Elda always had a smile for everyone and your house always seemed filled with friends and relatives enjoying your Mom’s hospitality. We have such fond memories of spending time there, both as teenagers and adults enjoying the infamous card games with the Milligan family. Thinking of you both. David and Debbie

I am So Sorry to hear of Elga’s Passing ..My deepest Heartfelt condolences ….I had the pleasure to meet her and deliver her medication ….she was a wonderful lady …always had a smile no matter what …Heven has gained another Angel …I know she will look over her children ….she will always remain in my heart …..R.I.P dear lady …

Sympathies to Elda’s family. Remember meeting her many years ago while on a prom date with Warren – she was so kind and welcoming. Stayed that way every time I saw her after that…

Jack and I were very saddened to learn of Eldas passing. We were next door neighbours at Round Lake for many years. She called herself the pesky neighbour but we thought of her as the perfect neighbour. Jack loved to do things for her and considered Elda his guardian angel after she was the one to find him after hed fallen off the roof and shattered his elbow. They shared a garden for several years, Jack always making certain to plant the Swiss chard she loved. She sold her cottage and we moved south the same fall; things just worked out that way, but living there without her would not have been the same. I too have many nice memories of Elda. We had fun times picking blueberries. She allowed me to launch my kayak from her beach and she always waved me off if she was at the cottage. Over glasses of wine, we had long conversations; we shared a love of reading and discussed and traded books. I envied the flower bed Elda had nurtured and how there was always something in bloom. I always think of Elda when I see peonies because of the beautiful ones she had by the lake. Jack and I planted a peony at our new home two years ago and it just bloomed for the first time. It seems like a message from Elda. Elda was a lady in every sense of the word. She had a quiet dignity, was always gracious, and had a smile and kind word for everyone. Her wit and humour endured even during difficult times. We will miss her but have wonderful memories to cherish; she will remain in our hearts. Our condolences to Jocelyn, Darren, and the rest of her family. Doreen Yakabuski Jack Vanderburg
