Dear Don & family,
We are sorry for your loss. Such good memories we have of our times together growing up in LGT. Barb always had such an infectious laugh and was a joy to be around. We pray for all of the family as you journey through this grieving time..

Don and family
So sorry to hear about Barb . Our thoughts and prayer are with you all

Barbie. you lit up any room you were in. I will always treasure your laughter and warm heart and soul. Make sure you and my dad don’t get into too much trouble up there !! ❤️

What a beautiful tribute to her and what a beautiful tribute of God’s love she was to us.

There are no words to express how much she will be missed but you made a very fine effort!

Love to all of you, and big “Barbie” style hugs when we finally see each other again.

I’ll never forget your wonderful laugh, caring and sweet personality and always being there to help family and friends. I have so many happy memories of you that I will always be able to re play them for myself and others. ♥️♥️😢

You will be greatly missed Aunt Barb. You brightened up a room when you walked into it. Your laugh was contagious and you made everyone around you feel appreciated and loved.

Our condolences to the whole family. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Sorry for your loss. Have many memories with our kids growing up.

Over the years you have been a treasured and special friend. From the trips away with our combined mob of 8 kids you were full of grace and humour. You were inflatable!
In the hospital we had hours of special times as we shared, reminisced, and prayed.
When Don had his accident although scared you were a rock and never lost faith.
I will never forget your laugh.

Don – keep strong and lean on your faith. Even though your kids have lost their mother, they will be a source of strength and comfort for you.

Finally – Don – “Been there, Done that”! Seemingly trite words but I know what you are experiencing. When you need to talk I’m here for you.

My heart goes out to Dayna and the rest of the Trudgeon family over the loss of your beloved mother. She was a wellspring of kindness, joy and care and I can only imagine the extent to which she will be missed. My sincerest condolences to you all.

What beautiful words to describe a beautiful woman! Her spirit and her love shine on and live strong in you, Kim. Sending much love, prayers, and condolences to you and your entire family.

We are saddened by the news of the loss of Barb. Barb was always present, caring and positive. She had a great smile and laugh. Barb always made you feel welcome. When in Don and Barbs presents you could feel their love for each other and the love for their family. They had faith that many of us could learn from. It is a great loss our prayers are with you all at this time.

Barb your bright smile and joy you bring to so many lives will be greatly missed.
I remember many times you came to our home with your sisters and how much fun we always had.

Dear Don and Family
I am so sorry for your loss. Barb was a awesome woman. She had a Great love for her family and friends. She was a joy to be with. She loved the Lord and put her faith in Him. As I was thinking about Barb’s life well lived, I remembered getting a call from my family several years ago saying my mom was dying and I needed to hurry back to the States. I flew back and rushed to see her. I got to spend a few special days with my mom before she went to be with the Lord. She told me her greatest concern and request to God that all of her family and friends would have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and spend eternity in heaven. I believe Barb had the same prayer and request to God for all her family and friends would know Christ and spend eternity with her in heaven.

We are thinking of your family and hope that happy memories will help you through this difficult time.

Don and family,

So sorry to learn of Barb’s passing. My wife Cathy and I send our sincere condolences. I wish you well as you begin the difficult adjustment to life without your wife and mother of your children.

Our Deepest Condolences,

Sending my condolences to all of Barb’s family and friends for the loss of such a precious, loving woman.
RIP.

Barb… AKA my second mom! I have vivid memories of taking many trips to Toronto with Donald driving, Barb in passenger seat, and Kim am I sprawled out in the back of the truck. Barb would always say, “Oh Kimmy!”… as a playful way to express her love, support, (sometimes worry), or amusement of Kim’s stories.

Barb had the biggest heart for all humans and animals. Welcoming anyone into her home.

She treated me like a daughter, taking care of me… and always making sure I was never hungry (lol). And Swiss Chalet! How she loved going for dinner there.

Her love of life was contagious. She had a special way of making everything feel ok. Barb would empathize with what you’re going through, but then spin it so you felt better.

I will miss her! And I’ll so thankful for the memories of time & conversations with her. Xoxo

You will be sorely missed, Barb. Sending loving thoughts and condolences to all this family. Much love, Aunt Maxine and daughter Lori.

Don and family,

We are so saddened to hear of Barb’s passing. A wonderful tribute to a remarkable person. She will be missed by so many folks. May lovely memories help ease your sadness. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time.

Sending love, prayers and strength. Barb was such a beautiful person inside and out. She loved with all her heart and everyone around her felt more loved and special in her presence. She was one of the most warm, caring and generous person I’ve ever met. She always welcomed me into her home, at her table and in her mini van like I was her 5th child. Rest in peace Barb in your castle in heaven!
Thinking of you Don, Kim, Dayna, Donald and Michelle and all your families.

Love: Laurie, Stephen, Ethan & Owen

We were so saddened by the news of Barb. She was a courageous woman. We have so many fond memories of the many years of Field Hockey that the girls played. The many early morning trips to Toronto with Kim. The four of us watching and cheering as Beth and Kim played the sport that they so loved. Barb’s laughter was contagious and she could always find something positive in any situation. We really enjoyed our last get together a few years ago. We wish we had done it more often.

Sending our deepest sympathies, prayers and love to you, Don and the family

My family and I are heartbroken. Your kindness, love of life and determination will always be remembered. There will never be another “BARBIE”. Loving you forever. Paula, Dave and family.
