Noreen and I went to college together in Thunder Bay, she could always make me laugh and was a fantastic person to be around. I’m so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers for all her family and friends.
I have been Noreen’s sister’s friend since we were in high school. As this family is close, I have also known Noreen since this time also. My deepest sympathies go out to the whole family. Please take care.
So sorry to hear about Noreen’s passing. We’ve lost touch but I always intended to reconnect. Wish that I had! I’ll always cherish the time working together and our friendship. Her sharp wit and impish smile always kept me laughing. She was so proud of her kids and family was very important. Hold on to your memories and each other. She’ll be missed by all! Love the Zagar family
Thinking about Noreen’s family ,,her pride and joy , the love of her life Mikey, her daughters Sarah and her partner Hayden ,, Vanessa and son Robbie , my heart is breaking for you all, Noreen was like a daughter to me,, she brought so much love , fun and laughter ,,, she holds a very special place in my heart ,, where it will be forever,, RIP my beautiful forever friend ,, I love you all so very much ❤️🙏
Noreen and I met back in the 1992 where we both worked together in the same building, we quickly became friends and turned into a 33 year friendship. I am missing her so badly but I will cherish her forever and the wonderful memories.💔💔💔
Our older sisters were high school friends, so they ensured we met each other on our first day of grade 9 at FWCI. We quickly became inseparable. She introduced me to The Young & the Restless, so much music (thanks to Alice’s record collection), buried treasure ice cream sticks, Saturday evening church services and my first high school boyfriend. We navigated so many adolescent life events together, including the loss of her father. She had an unbelievable sense of humour and a generous heart. Rest in peace, my dear friend, and I smile knowing that you and Alice are reunited.
Our condolences, thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Mike, I’m so sorry for your loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this tough time.
I’m so sorry Mike, Sarah (Hayden), Vanessa and Robbie. Noreen was the ultimate friend. We went to college together and worked in the broadcast television business where we struck up a life-long friendship. Her sense of humour was second to none and we would laugh loudly wherever we were with not a care in the world. I can almost hear her and Alice laughing about the over-sized wings they were given for being two special angels. Noreen will never be too far from my thoughts and you can take solace in the wonderful times you were able to share with such a memorable mom and wife.
From the moment I met Noreen I felt like I’d known her forever. We said that night that we’d become family instantly and I loved every moment we shared, though there were too few. Mark and I were over the moon that Mike had found his forever, and even moreso with the family that came along with her! Mike, Vanessa, Robbie, Sarah, Hayden our hearts break for your loss and we’ll always be here for you.
Our condolences to Mike and the children. Noreen was a kind soul, full of mirth, and we will never forget her amazing laugh.
Vanessa & family, I am so very sorry to hear of Noreen’s passing. She was such a bright light in this world. She was always very kind, warm & genuine. From the moment I met you & your Mom at The Livery in our Acting Class I fell in love with you both. I was so incredibly happy when our paths crossed again in 2023 for FTFE. Spending time with both of you was a definite highlight of that festival for me. I’m going to miss seeing her beautiful face. Please reach out if you need anything, Vanessa. Your Theatre Family is here for you.
Holly and I are deeply sorry for your loss. Noreen was a kind and lovely person and always made everyone laugh with her sense of humour. She will be missed ❤️
Mike and family….Noreen was one of the sweetest, kindest spirits I’ve ever known. Her laughter infectious !! Her friendship was a treasured gift to me. I’m positive God will enjoy her beside him at his table and from heaven she will be holding all of you in her arms forever.
Dear Daly and Vaillant Families,
Sincerest sympathies to you all. Noreen was a bright soul who loved life and especially her family. I went to school with Noreen from SK to Grade 13 — many happy memories at the Vaillant home where everyone felt welcome. In a conversation a few years ago, she expressed her deep faith in God’s faithful promises and she would want us to remember that one day, we will see her again. May God’s promises comfort your hearts at this difficult time. Godspeed old friend… Peace be with you.
