Debra and I have great memories that we have spent with you and Gerald. Family weddings, anniversaries, weekend at the lake two years ago. Watching the Saskatchewan win the Grey Cup at your place. Memories will never be lost. Nestor and Debra ~ Nestor and Debra


Eleanor was one of the most kindest, loving person we have ever met. A few years ago Eleanor told us that Mary (Grant's Mom) was her best friend. You don't hear that too often these days. She was always a happy and lovable person. We will be thinking of Gerry and family, and will think of her loving smile always. ~ Grant and Darlene Stewart


Dad and I are very thankful for the Smerchynski family. Many Christmas memories shared make this a special time to remember Eleanor. We convey our sincerest condolences, and fulfill this Christmas season with Eleanor close to our hearts. ~ Dylan Hrycyshen

Gerry & family Thinking of you all in your time of sorrow. In a small way, to honour Eleanor's memory, we purchased a Wish Angel Ornament. May it provide some comfort as you display it on the tree and as it sparkles and shines may it remind all who knew Eleanor, just what an Angel she was. Make-A-Wish Canada grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. ~ Bill & Jude
