Dear Baechler Family, There are many people you will not know who were touched by Larraine’s warmth and kindness. I am one of those people. When I joined the Y just over a year ago, Larraine was one of the first persons to introduce herself and welcome me, new to the area, to the exercise class. I was so saddened to learn of her passing. She used to greet me with a warm smile and always had time for a chuckle or a wry comment. Your family and, indeed, the community have lost a very special person.
Colleen and Gailya MAGUIRE
Robert and Family, So sorry to hear of Larraine’s sudden passing. I remember her as a cheerful, smiling lady with impeccable decorating talent. She helped us on several occasions and soon she became the go-to lady for decorating advice. A huge presence in the BIA and the town in general and was always improving the town she loved. You have our deepest sympathies..

Dear Robert, Louise and Scott and extended Baechler family,
On behalf of the downtown Goderich B.I.A. business community and Larraine’s good friends, may I saw how very sad we were to hear of Larraine’s passing. She was such a wonderful lady, so very kind to me when I first joined the BIA as a staff member. Larraine’s design sense was an inspiration to all and as Chair of the Beautification committee at the Board level, her dedication to the downtown core was immense. Larraine is very much a part of what is unique and beautiful in the downtown core. Everywhere we look we shall be reminded of her. The BIA businesses shall miss her terribly, and we are so very sorry for your loss.
With the greatest respect and sympathy,
Susan Carradine- Armstrong

Pam Lougheed
I have 2 memories of Larraine, one of just a few weeks ago when I popped down to see them at University Hospital while Robert was waiting to be seen by a doctor. Larraine was her usual smiling self with a big hug and in her usual way sent a thank you for me stopping by. The other goes way back to my first job as a kid-gardening in her lovely back yard where she and Robert would laugh because I was too frightened to drive the riding lawn mower and chose the push mower instead. Larraine was always out there with me enjoying the day. You were a kind soul and will be missed by all.
