My deepest condolences at the passing of your mother. Both your mom and dad meant a lot to me as I grew up, and helped me get to where I wanted to be in life. They were great people, and are now at home with the Lord.
With special thoughts of your family at this time Praying that the Lord will surround you with His love and that His presence will fill you with peace I remember your Mother as always being gracious & cheerful! Have very fond memories of your family when the family lived in Burnaby and I attended school with Dorcas. Blessings, Ron & Joan (Bell) Pazdzierski
Dear Dorcas and family, I wanted to express my condolences at the passing of your Mom. I remember Jessie with much fondness. She always had a sparkle in her eye and I could tell that she had such life force, even in her later years. I can see what a great mother she was because of the devotion of you and your family to her now. I hope that her passing will bring you closer together to celebrate a life well lived and to carry on her legacy. My love and best wishes to you all Susan Summers
We so enjoyed Jessie! We appreciated Jessie and Art's willingness to input into younger Christian's lives. P.O.D. Prepaid on Delivery to Heaven. We enjoyed Jessie's twinkling eyes and dry wit, her practicalness and hospitality and her youthfulness! I remember her saying how she so enjoys spending time with her grandchildren so that they could do crazy fun things and not have anyone question why older people would act that way! I know Jessie and Art will continue to cheer us on from heaven! We celebrate you, Jessie, a life well-lived!
