Dear Uncle Jim,
So sorry to hear about Aunt Midge. She will be missed greatly.
My favorite memory was the time you let me drive the combine tractor while eating bologna sandwiches that Aunt Midge made for us… I seem to recall eating most of them but I was a growing boy at the time lol. That was the first time that I learned to love large machinery and I remember never wanting to come home after having such an awesome day with both you and Aunt Midge.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Lots of Love,
Kyle

Jim … it broke my heart to read of Midge’s passing especially at this time of the year. On the other hand, she is at peace and without pain. May you find great comfort from your family and friends. My prayers are with you and the family now and forever. Take care.

Dear Cindy and Family,
Chris and I are very sorry to hear about your Mother’s/Grandmother’s passing. I met her at a guide dog users convention in Ottawa, and I remember her reading the restaurant menus to a throng of blind people. She was a very nice lady, and she seemed to enjoy helping us. In just one weekend, she made a great impression on me. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Jeffrey Ferguson
To everyone in the Dickenson, Tuttle, and Ferguson families,
I’m deeply sorry that I can’t be there with you. My love and my thoughts are going out to all of you, and Grandpa, I’m glad I got the chance to speak with you on the phone. Grandma was someone who always put family first, whether it be through babysitting her grandchildren whenever asked, rushing to her sister’s side at a time of emergency, or helping plan weddings and family reunions in any way she could. I’m sure that she felt very blessed to know six great-grandchildren, and hopefully many more will come to know the memory of her giving and selfless spirit. We will all miss her dearly.
Dear Jim and Family
We were sorry to read of the death of your beloved wife and parent.
It is never easy to lose your life-long spouse but may memories
of her live on in your hearts as you face each new to-morrow.
Our deepest sympathy at this time and may God bless each one
of you.

Dear Uncle Jim, Cindy & Tom,
Sending our heartfelt sympathies to all of you. Our thoughts and love are with you during this difficult time.
I fondly remember Sunday family dinners at both the Dickinson & Stephenson family homes. I remember Aunty Midge’s meatloaf (I still use her receipe) , sleep overs, and you both trying to convince me to stay the entire night….you were wonderful!
Aunty Midge will be lovingly missed.

Uncle Jim, Cindy and Tom: I’m so sorry for your loss. Barb and Kirby’s messages describe my memories of good times at the farm too–family gatherings, the pool, tasty meals and treasured moments with those we love. More recently Meghan and I enjoyed seeing your “fancy cars”–Meghan’s words!
Aunt Midge will be missed.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
Much love

Uncle Jim, Tom and Cindy – we were so sorry to hear about Aunt Midge.

Kirby Alguire
Uncle Jim, Cindy and Tom,
Aunt Midge was a Great Aunt to my kids but a Great Aunt to me also. I have fond memories of the ribbing she would give me as I stumbled around trying to be useful on the farm and the dinners she would put on after a long day’s work. Her chocolate pies stand out in particular! She will be greatly missed by all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren but they too will take comfort from their memories. Please accept our profound condolances.
Kirby, Lora, Minami, Tak and Kaz.

Libby Kay
Dear Cindy, Sarah, Andrew, Jeffrey and Scott,
How sorry I was to read of the death of your mother/grandmother. No matter how inevitable it seems, losing such a precious one is still a great shock. I can still picture you all in Brick Street school but now you will certainly be young adults. Cindy, I still have my china doll and she is always dressed in the beautiful white satin dress you made for her. And Sarah, I remember how sweetly you sang the Brahm’s lullaby for the class. And I remember the boys’ fingerprints on the apron you made for me.
Thinking of you all,
Libby Kay
