Troy,
Your Grandmother loved you like no other and was so very proud of you.
Everyone knew how much you did for her and how much you loved her.
Your memories of her will always live on through you.

Your Grandmother was the greatest Troy.
Especially in the 80's when we use to go by the house to get to the camp.
She always came out to talk and when we needed to get warm she always told us to come in and then she always fed us great meals too.
Always Missed

I knew your grandmother and she was a great lady. She did so much at the United Church and did so much for Dr. Elmik when he was here and she worked for him.

You and your grandmother were very close Troy. It must be hard for you all as she was very precious to all of you. This was very nice to do a memorial page for her, she would have been very proud of you both if she was still here, but is where she is now. In Heaven looking down on you!

Troy:
I know how much you loved your grandmother and everything you did for her. She loved you very much and I know you loved her the same. She talked all the time about you and always wished the best for you and said you were her son in her heart and always would be.
You both had a cheerished relationship and I thought you should know that.
A long time friend of your grandmothers.

I think it is so very heart warming to know that there are still people in the world who still care so very much for loved ones after they leave us. Beautiful website that you have here.

It is not hard to tell you loved your grandma Troy.
I knew her quit well and her family, I think it is wonderful that you have done this in her memory and I know she loved you very dearly and she would be extreamly proud of you and Crystal and would especially love it that you would be next door to her in your new home.
Love Paula M.
