    My deepest sympathies, Judy. Your mother and mine were first cousins (Grace Stebbins Walker, daughter of Lena Desjardins). It’s tough to lose a mother but there are so many great memories to feed your soul.

    Judy and Family,
    Many years ago Donna used to look after our boys before they got on the school bus in the morning and she would clean for me. It was very nice when I got home to find a clean house and some fresh baking sitting on the counter. Accept our warmest condolences. Ed and Cecilia Mittelholtz

    Dear Judy,
    Imagine Gord and Donna meeting once again on “That Beautiful Shore”. I remember so well when you folks lived on Wellington St., how you and I would sing on the way to and from school; and you and I winning junior girls duet at the music festival ( Where do the Dusky Gypsies Dwell),
    I always admired your families Christian life. You and your family had a major impact on my life, your Mom and Dad and yourself were a beacon in our neighbourhood in those years. Your Mom was always knitting and taking such loving care of her family; she was so nice.
    What beautiful pictures, just as I remember them.
    Lifting you up in prayer and praying for God’s guidance at this sad but yet time of celebration for life of service.
    Most sincerely and respectfully, Judy ( Jory) Hayward

    Judy and Desjardine family,
    It is with great sadness to hear of the passing of your mother, my aunt.
    The memories go back to my childhood spending time with yourself, your mom and dad on the beach at GrandBend and the visits at your home on Huron Street. Those were precious times.
    I will not be able to make it to the service but you will be in my thoughts and prayers at that time. Great photos.
    Love and hugs. Your cousin, Caroline
