I am sorry for your loss. Take care
Dear Larry, It is with sadness we learned of your mom’s passing. Just wanted you to know we were thinking of you. Gary and Marilyn Lauzon
I just wanted to share a message and say what a pleasure it was to know Thelma. She was such a beautiful person. I still have a recipe she shared with me for her superb zucchini bread. She will be missed. Sincerely, Teresa McDougall
We are so sorry to hear of the loss of such a wonderful woman. She loved her family and friends and her church. The strength of her love may you always feel it. The warmth of her spirit may you always sense it. The honesty of her laughter may you always have it. For all that she meant, your mom will be remembered with love.
I’m so sorry for your loss Larry. Take care. My thoughts are with you.
Hi Larry..I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard losing someone who was such a part of you. My heart is with you. From Pat McLean
Ron, Lorraine and family. I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s death. May she rest in peace. Marg Ives
Sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing Dobie. Her and your Dad were great customers of Smitty’s . She will be missed. Arnold and Judy Peters
Hi Dobie, I’m sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I remember driving my Mom out to Dobie several times every summer. We always had fun – they had great stories to share. The Food Bank and Irish Club kept them both busy too. I’ll remember her smile and warm hugs. Thinking of you, Colleen and Rod
To Larry.(Dobie) Our deepest condolences for the loss of your mom….she was a very nice lady… Brian and Leigh Fraser.
Larry and family; we are sorry to hear of the passing of Thelma. She is fondly remembered.
Thinking of the Family with heartfelt Condolences …my Parents George & Lila Quevillon were great Friends of the Greens in the “Upper Canada/Upper Beaver” years & very fond of Thelma & Gordon. My Dad worked @ Upper Canada for over 20 years until the mine’s closure. As a child, I remember several positive conversations (some with fun & laughter) as Gordon & Thelma were being discussed around the kitchen table. I also have fond memories of the Family @ mine picnics & Christmas Parties, along with other times socializing as Friends! Like Gordon, my Parents also served overseas in WW2, (Dad as a “Royal Canadian Engineer” & Mom as a “Leading Air Woman”). I remember Thelma attending my Mom’s funeral in 2010 with Larry, I believe. It meant the world to me that they attended & I was so thankful that Thelma came up to me at the Social afterwards to offer kind words & a big hug In reading the comments above, it is most evident of the Beautiful Person Thelma was! Her parting with & presenting “Doug Barker” with his Grandmother’s Original Christmas Cake Recipe, speaks volumes of her just how big her Heart was RIP Thelma I am unfortunately away at this time or I would be attending Services! Sincerely, Therese Allaire (quevicat@gmail.com)
Larry, Ron & Family We share in your sorrow and will miss Thelma very much. We always enjoyed our time with her during her Nova Scotia visits. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Fred & Cathy Fergus & family Truro, Nova Scotia
To Larry (Dobie), Ron and Lorraine, and all other family members and friends: Please accept my sincere condolences in the loss of such a Loving and caring person. Thelma was truly a special person to so many. She lived next door to my grand parents on Baron St. My parents later bought that home from my grandmother, and I got to know well. She was always thinking of others. One day in church about two years ago, she told me she still baked as many as 10 Christmas cakes every year and gave them to family and friends. She then added that it was the recipe my grandmother had given her and asked me if I wanted a copy. Instead, however, she kept the copy and gave me, with her big smile on her face, the original in my grand mother’s hand writing. There is so much more I can say, but later. Please let Thelma’s Love comfort you all as that is what she would want. For Thelma: I will miss you dearly. Eternal Rest grant unto Thelma, Oh Lord, and may Your Perpetual Light shine upon her. God Bless.
Larry, I send you & your family my deepest condolence She is and always will be your Angel !!! HUGS
I am sorry to hear of Thelma’s passing as she was a truly special lady and proud Nova Scotian. Thelma was a longtime friend of my parents and grandparents. It was always a pleasure to work with her as she gave me my first job many years ago. I too will also remember her trademark smile and twinkle in her eyes. Rest in Peace
It is with the most sincere sadness that we Billie-Jean and Merdy Armstrong send our regards to Thelma’s family. She was a good friend to us and we looked forward to being with her. Rest Thelma .You deserve it. We also are very sorry that Cecilia Harrow has lost a truly great friend. Thanks Thelma for knowing us.
Larry and Ron, Your Mom, Thelma was such a special woman. She sat across from us at Holy Name and she always gave warm hugs and such a treasured smile. We were blessed to sit with her at so many luncheons and dinners at Holy Name. We treasure the stories of her family that she shared and the great faith that she had. She is surely welcomed in heaven by a great choir of angels. She always was a special lady in our hearts.
