Dear Dianne, Brenda Lee and Doug; Your mother shall be missed by your families, relatives and friends. Aunt Isobel had a great personality with smile and laughter. She was gifted with love hospitality, a good listener and her baking abilities (pies, tarts and cakes made to perfection, along with quick meal planning, when our families would drop into the farm. The family gatherings at your farm, in Kitchener, Orillia and Cookstown shall be remembered. My sympathy and blessings; Wayne.

Aunt Isobel and I shared her birth date of Aug. 20 and my birth date of Aug. 19. I rarely had a birthday without thinking how sweet an Aunt she was. Her quiet demeanour and beautiful smile impressed me. Her quiet hospitality whenever we visited the farm both as children and adults will be remembered, and she was fun to be around. Thank you, Aunt Isobel, for all those delicious pieces of pies throughout the years. your loving niece 'Gayzi' (what Aunt Isobel called me) Gaye

Dear Dianne, Doug and Brenda Lee, We had the car running and a coat on when we got a call advising us that the roads were bad and we should probably stay home. A decade earlier, I might have ignored this advice, but common sense seems older and wiser so we have reluctantly decided to stay in our home and build the fire up in the wood stove.Please know that we are thinking about you all and a dearly missed aunt Isobel. I have in mind a scene I saw many years ago when I was travelling, as I did every spring for 5-6 years, to Montréal to pick up my son Brendan from the university. Every year, I would look for a team of heavy work horses that worked in the fields of this farm. One year, something was wrong. One of the team was down and his/her partner was standing over the other. When I came back two days later, the old faithful horse was still standing over his team mate, unwilling to leave the other's side. That was the last time I saw either of them. Today sure brings back that and some other lovely memories. Our love to you all, Richard and Gaye

Remembering a lovely lady whose special laugh comes back to me today. I recall walking into the Kitchen out in Sunnidale twp and the welcoming warmth that was there. Blessings to all.
