I met Mrs. Wick while visiting family at Goderich Place. She loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and displayed her family photos with pride and shared stories of her past. She greeted everyone with a smile, and a twinkle in her eye. Thank you Mrs. Wick for sharing your stories, your family, watching over my family member and spoiling my grandson on those special visits. God Bless
Shelley Warr
Peter, Heidi : My mother, Audrey Linner, is a resident of Goderich Place and whenever I would visit Mom I would meet your mother – usually in the lobby or sometimes sitting outside. She was an unofficial greeter for the residence. When she knew that I had taught you, she made sure to tell me what was happening with you both. I remember her excitement at having the family all together for her birthday. My condolences and prayers are with you and your extended family in this time of loss.
Wayne Bouck
Pete, Pauline & family;
My heartfelt condolences are with you at this time of loss.
I was fortunate to spend some time with Martha and Alfons when I finished their basement on Martha St. Alfons was ailing from his condition, but Martha was ever vigilant in attention to him. It wasn’t hard to see her love of family, and her faith, were the foundation in her life.
Her seemingly constant smile and warm words for everyone are a memory for me.
Cherish your happy memories.
Jim McDade
Martha was a wonderful wife and mother. She had a magical smile and a wonderful sense of humour. Nothing was too much trouble for Martha….she would go to extraordinary lengths to help a neighbour or friend. Shelagh and I were privileged to know her. May she now find comfort in God’s eternal embrace….Jim & Shelagh McDade
