So sorry for your loss Sandi.
Dear Sandi, Rob and family. I was so sorry to read that your mom, Erica, had passed away. It brought up a lot of memories of when we lived in fort Richmond and raising our kids together. You are in my thoughts. Deepest sympathy. Lois
Dear Rob and Sandi,
It was with sadness we learned of your mother’s passing. We hadn’t seen her since the Gardner family reunion we hosted nearly 30 years ago in Wingham, Ontario, but have fond memories stretching all the way back to her childhood in North Bay. Your Grandpa Bob Gardner and my Mum Lois Munro were brother and sister. My sister, Heather Munro, very much enjoyed the visits she had with Erica before her passing in 2018. We kept in touch with cousin Erica over the years with an occasional email or phone call, and know the past several years have been tough ones. Our sympathy to you both.
Sincerely,
Peggy (Munro) & Bob Pike
I’m Sorry Nana.
Dear Sandi, Rob & Family,
So saddened to hear of the passing of your wonderful mother, Erica. It is such a loss for you all and sending love your way during this very difficult time. I have such happy memories of Aunt Erica and Uncle Rick coming to our wedding back in 2009. They were an inspiring example of two people who light up around each other and whose love stood the test of time.
Aunt Erica had such a joyful energy and sense of humour. I carry warm memories of her lively spirit and heartwarming conversations with her that trip. She was very kind staying in touch over the years and distance. She would send thoughtful gifts and messages to welcome her great niece and nephews into the world with her happiness . Erica will be deeply missed and remembered with love and great fondness.
Love,
Cousin Lisa
