My condolences to the Buchanan family
Why is she throwing a fruitcake at me!?
Why do people not understand a Scottish person speaking English? I have hidden talent :-)
Whaaaa? Alysia and Tyler are speaking Chinese to Jacob!
Well, the kids are adults now and they've forgotten their Chinese
Thank you for the love, kindness
and thank you for being you
A poem I wrote for Mrs. Buchanan ;-)
you watched us grow
taught us to be tough
and gentle
work hard
and enjoy Life
we watched the children grow
taught them to love learning
and snow
the sunrises
and the sunsets
are still beautiful
but not the same
without you

Mom, it has taken me a little bit to be able to write something .There were so many good memories and lots of laughs . No matter what life threw at you , you made the best of it.. when , overnight a stroke took your memory, as well as the use of one side of your body , you fought hard to try and remain upbeat .. Then came the cancer and still you never complained .. 17 months ago I brought you up with dad to come stay at Carveth , where I was extremely fortunate to be able to see you every day .. Dad was supposed to join you at Carveth but sadly passed away in March of this year and I truly believe part of you died with him .. The last week you had the love of all your family And tho you really couldn’t speak your smile and Hand squeezes were the best. I know you are now with dad , pain free at last.. I am going to miss our talks and the advice that was always comforting . . You telling me “ I love you sweetheart “ will always be my best memory ..I love you to mom ❤️

Nana, not a day goes by that I don’t miss having you to talk to about my day on my way home from school. I miss the amazing stories that you used to tell the boys and I every time we would see you, and most of all, I miss the comfort of knowing that no matter where I was or what I had done, I could always come to you and know that you were in my corner no matter what. You were always a call away, waiting to give me advice about staying in school, to calm me down after I did bad on a test, or just to talk to me, excited to hear about how I was doing. You fought a tough battle and are one of the strongest people that I have ever known. I am so grateful to be able to call you my grandmother and I’m glad that you are with papa and in peace. I will continue to keep my head up and do my best to make you proud. I love you and will forever cherish the memories that we shared for the short 17 years that we were together. I hope to see you again some day and will never forget how amazing you always were to me

Betty and Don welcomed me into their family when Carol and I started our relationship. I was always met with a smile when I saw Betty and we laughed when I would need a translation from Carol because I could not always understand what was being said because of her Scottish accent. In the last couple of years I was able to spend more time with Betty and Don as Don came to live with us and Betty resided in Carveth. Every day I would take Don over to the home and pick him up. So I was able to visit with her a few minutes a day. She would always greet me with a smile and sometimes a joke. Since March I have missed those visits and the little jokes between us.. I will always have fond memories of the last Christmas Don and Betty shared with us at the house. You will be missed but not forgotten. I will see you on the other side some day.
Rob.

Nana,
I will miss our little chats, and how you were always a phone call away when I needed advice, to vent, or just to talk about the day I was having. You were a great listener, and full of wisdom. You cared so deeply about your family, and I can honestly say that not a day went by that I would see you or speak to you, that you did not make me feel special and loved.
I will miss watching Coronation Street with you on Sundays, and the way you still tucked me in if I was laying on the couch.. even in my 30s. I will miss your humour and wittiness, and the way you would get choked up at every Birthday, Mother's Day or Christmas card I ever gave you, no matter what it said. Every night you would ask what time I would be getting up to make sure you were awake before me with a cup of tea ready, to eat breakfast with me, and send me off to work or school. I will miss how you stood at the door to wave each time I would leave until we could no longer see each other, and how there was always a big hug waiting for me when I came home.
I can truely say I had the best Nana and Papa in the world. Not many get to have the type of relationship that I had with my grandparents and I will always be thankful for that. In many ways you were more like parents to me. You never judged me or criticized my choices, and you were always there when I needed you, supporting me at each turn. Words can not describe how much I miss you now, but I am very lucky to have so many amazing memories that will keep you alive in my thoughts forever.
I find peace in knowing that Papa was there to welcome you when you sadly had to leave us. We all wish to have a love like yours, together forever and never apart. I know that you are still watching over me, and I will continue to live each day trying to make you both proud until we meet again.
Love always,
Alysia

My dear friend Betty, I cannot reconcile myself to the idea that you nor my buddy Don are not next-door to me anymore. It has created a feeling of emptiness that I can feel every time I go out or come in and I don't see either of you with a familiar wave and a big smile.
I take comfort though in knowing that you are reunited again with your beloved Don who went ahead of you and was likely aching for you to be with him. It's comforting to know that you will never be apart ever again and that I will someday see you both again. That will surely be a happy day for me.
Until then, smile dear Betty and Don. We will miss you a whole lot.
Your friend next-door,
Kenneth

Nana. It does not feel real to me that you are gone. I remember visiting you on summer vacation. My brothers and I would fall asleep and you would tuck us in with your blankets. We all love you and we all miss you sooo much. Keep papa company and watch over everyone for me. You will always hold a special place in my heart and you will never be forgotten. I love you Nana and may me meet again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Mom. I still can't believe that you have left us. It seems like it's all a bad dream, but it's not. I know how much you truly loved each and every one of us and I know you knew how hard this would be on us all which made your passing that much more difficult for you. We are at peace knowing that you are with dad once again, where you always wanted to be and your beautiful blue eyes are sparking again and you have that great big smile on your face. You suffered enough. I am very proud to be your daughter and will make you proud of me. I know you will let us know you are around and look forward to those signs from you. Please tell dad we miss him as well. Rest in peace Mom. All my love forever, your baby girl. Xoxo
