This page is for the special people
that were in my life and now are in heaven.
They will live in my heart always forever.
Grandfather Robert Leo
May 11 1974
I was only 7 when my grandfather died but these
are things I remember...
Robert Leo was born in Tichborne Ontario he was the
oldest of 11 and was 6 feet tall. He met my grandmother during the Second World War, they married August 3 1940.(which
is my brother's wifes Candi's birthday) Together they had four children 3 girls and 1 boy. He was a soilder
in the RCASC (Royal Canadian Army Service Corps) and ran the gas pumps for the trucks in army. .
He loved the outdoors, hunting, bagpipes, the
color purple, going to the Hobby Shop, and building things out of wood. He loved to sing songs like "Daisy" and some other made up songs, also sang "How Great Thou Art" in the church choir. Truthfully he couldn't sing, but he did anyway....LOL
Grandfather made the best hamburgers ever ( my dad thought
so too, at one time he ate mine when I went to the bathroom) :0(
When I was younger I was giving my mom a hard time
and he stepped in and ...I told him to shut-up, that didn't go over well at all.
Visiting them when they lived in North Bay was always
fun even when he gave my dill pickles when I was a baby to suck on.
To this day I hate pickles,,,,LOL
He was a gentle and kind man, had a great
laugh and loved his family.
I miss him so much.
Love to you always Grandfather.... you will always have
a special place in my heart. XOXO
My Great Granmother born Febuary 2 1899
Lydia Elizabeth Ellen lived in Parhama
Ontario, she had 11 children and my grandfather was the oldest one. She loved to bake, was a very good cook, taught piano
and was crafty.
Her house was big and the sun porch wrapped
around her house, when you sat on her porch you would see humming birds flying around. I remember sitting
out there playing with Sesame Street finger puppet...I know but I was young,,,,LOL. She had lost of bed rooms when
we visit, my room was over the kitchen and I use to wake up looking down the register and see great grandma making breakfast.
She had a fruit cellar the ones that the door was on the floor and every kind of cereal you could image. I guess with all
the grandchildren and great grandchildren she had that was a good plan.... heheheh.
She died the same day that Terry Fox died June 28 1981.
My great grandmother was one of a kind and a
very special talent lady and I miss her.
Love to you always
XOXO
My Grandma Agnes Mary (Pat) Wagar
March 5 2001
My grandma was born in Croydon, England, July
11 1920.
Beloved wife of the late Robert Leo my grandfather.
(1974)
She is the loving mother of Kathleen, Elizabeth.
Roberta (my mom) and William. She is remembered by 13 great grandchildren and 3 predeceased great grandchildren (Our daughter
Laura is one of them)
I'm the 3rd oldest of her 9 grandchildren and
my grandmother was someone who was shorter than most of us.
She had a lot of class and kept busy with cubs,
(Scounting Movement) teaching Sunday School, going to church and working in the office. Grandma was also a foster parent and
loved to give to others less fortunate than herself. She always had a smile on her face, but you had to watch out for the
cub stare. I hardly ever heard her raise her voice, but she would stamp her foot when she was mad.
She loved to knit and make Raggedy Ann and Raggedy
Andy dolls. I received the first ones when I was 5 years old. She enjoyed telling us war stories usaully the same ones.......LOL(She
was a member of the A.T.S. Second World War.) Loved tea time, I guess that was the english in her. Sometimes I would have
a cup or two just to please her.
She loved to be around her family and she loved
to sing at family sing-alongs. I enjoyed going to her house for the night and loved it even more when she made homemade apple
pies. Grandma and I did alot of things that I will always remember, ballet at Centre in the Square, lunches, dinners,
movies, Christmas, sharing sweets, but most of all spending quailty time together.
Strange now to think of her gone, my grandmother
was a remarkable, strong willed, wonderful lady. I thought she would never grow old but I do know she will live in my heart
forever.
Love to you always Grandma XOXO
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be
excalted among the heathen, I will exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts in with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

Children aren't suppose to die before you.
This has to be the hardest thing for me to write.....
Takes a deep breathe...
My husband and I lost our first baby June 30 1995. We
wanted to have a family and we tried for about 2 years, no luck. Than it finally happened I was pregnant. It was in February
and it was on my husband birthday when I found out. (his birthday is on Valentine's Day) We were so happy and had a lot of
hopes and dreams for our baby.
My pregnancy was rough I love being pregnant,
but was sick a lot. There was one day that I was so sick couldn't keep anything down, but I thought that was normal.
When I had my next check- up I was asked for 6
months why was a so small? I never thought there was a problem some women don't get huge.
He ordered an ultra sound and that is when our world
came crashing down.
It turn out that during the ultra sound the couldn't
fined a heart beat and I was sent to another lab because he said after an hour in there the ultra sound machine it
wasn't working right. We didn't know anything at all until we got out of the second lab and than the doctor called.
We had to see him right away. I was terrified.
My doctor told us that we could have more children
and that is when I went numb. Don't remember to much of what was said in the office. We were than told that tomorrow we had
to go to the hospital, I had no idea what was in store for me. That night I didn't want to go to sleep hoping that the next
day wouldn't come. I was hoping that they were wrong and praying for a miracle.
At the hospital I was told that I had to deliver,
because of my situation would be dangerous if I didn't do it this way. I can't explain how I felt, she was gone how
can I do this? She was only 19 weeks her heart stopped about 6 weeks before I knew. How could I have not known that she was
in trouble? I was her mom I should have known she was in danger. Mom's are suppose to protect their children. It took
me a long time to know that I did the best for her, not my fault.
They put me on a pump and induced me June 29, the next
day we had her 8:20 am.
When I was told what had happened to her I didn't want
to hold her, but when the nurse was weighing her I changed my mind " I want to hold her." "You want to hold your
daughter?" I than truly felt like her mommy.
She was tiny had and all her fingers and toes she
was perfect, to us she was beautiful. I'm so glad we saw her and gave her a name.
I remember when the nurse took her away to fingerprint
her hands and feet I knew she would be back, but when she had to take her away for good I felt so empty inside. I was lucky
to hold for as long as I did...but wish it was forever.
We had her cremated and the hospital took care of that,
sometimes not sure if that was the right thing. When you are in a state of shock not sure if you are totally aware of thinking
straight. I didn't ask to many questions about what would happen to her and that too sometimes is still hard for me.
We later learned that she had a growth in the back of
her neck the size of an orange and they are not sure if that was the cause of her death. We at least of some idea of
what happened and that gives us some peace.
Our daughter Laura was gone and we felt that our
hopes and dreams went with her, but not our love for her that will live in our hearts forever.
We now have a special rock in the cemetery (which took
a lot of burden away) with a gold plaque that has her name and date on it that reads ....
OUR LITTLEST ANGEL WHO WENT BACK TO HEAVEN.
It took a long time 7 years to get something with her
name on it, since we had no funeral or burial.
I have my daughter known to the world know her name and
remembrance will be known forever.
I feel so much better because of that.
We love you and miss you Laura our littlest angel...
Love to you always

Lori Anne Kovacs
To my special friend.............................Lori who lost her battle to cancer on Wednesday September 25 2002.
We just met up with each other again last
October 2001 and shortly after that she announced that she had cancer. She was truly a beautiful person and she touched
so many people with her love and big heart. When she walked into a room you could really feel that love.
She loved babies, being a mom, butterflies,
outdoors, the color pink and rock and roll. Lori touched me in a way that I will always cherish.
We first met in September 1995 after we both
suffered a GREAT loss. She was really scared at how I would remember her, as well as her family and other friends. Well
she has nothing to worry about she will never be forgotten by the people who loved and care for her. I will remember
her and the other is to cherish what I have more cause you just never know. I will give my family and friends what she gave
me.
I will always remember you my special friend.
One of the things that Lori believed in is BUTTERFLY KISSES
ARE FOREVER.....................
I WILL REMEMBER YOU ALL!!!
ANGELKISSES AND HUGS
