Condolences & Memories (17 entries)

• it is hard to believe soon it will be a year since Phyllis left us! It was such an honour and pleasure working with Phyllis. She loved her boys, their wife's and grandchildren so much her eyes lot up everyone she spoke of them. Phyllis was a tireless worker, kind and compassionate and I learned so much from her everyday. We miss you Phyllis the hockey pool just isn't the same without you! - Posted by: Chrystal Mihelic (Work colleague) on: Oct 24, 2015

• We remember Phyllis as a loving, caring compassionate woman who was so beautiful on the inside with an equally beautiful smile. Here is a poem that reminds us so much of her...THE JOY OF UNSELFISH GIVING - Time is not measured by the years that you live, but by the deeds that you do and the joy that you give - And each day as it comes brings a chance to each one to love to the fullest, leaving nothing undone, that would brighten the life or lighten the load of some weary traveler lost on Life's Road - So what does it matter how long we may live, if as long as we live we unselfishly give. Love, Helen and Dave. - Posted by: Dave and Helen Martens (son-in-law's parents -beloved friends) on: Jan 11, 2015

• In Loving Memory of our precious Phyllis - The Broken Chain - We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. We love you to the moon... Mom & "Grandma By The Ocean". - Posted by: Craig, Carmela, Hannah & Hayden (family) on: Dec 08, 2014

• So sorry and sad to have read of Phyllis' passing. I worked with Phyllis at Great-West Life for many years. Phyllis was always so very warm and friendly and would often bring special baked goodies for our office staff. I would call her my Philly, because of her gentle manner and cheerful laugh. God bless her two sons (Craig and Blair) and their extended families. - Posted by: Jerry W. Scott (Friend and co-worker) on: Dec 08, 2014

• My dear sweet mom-in-law, my heart aches and I think of you all the time. From the first moment I met you, you were so gentle and kind to me and made me feel so at home. I remember the fire bell went off in your apartment and we were cuddled outside together with a blanket and our arms around each other. That was the first time we met. I will miss our dinners together and our long talks. You always made time for me, even when I called you past 10pm on a weeknight just so I could play you a few notes I learned on the piano. You said how wonderful it was and how proud you were. That makes me smile because I know how not so wonderful it sounded. But you took the time to listen and always made me feel special. I was so blessed to have you in my life. Only a few weeks ago we were shopping together in the mall and we were crying and hugging telling each other how much we love one another, I will always remember that. What wonderful memories you have left behind. I have keep every card from everyone who loves you and everyone who writes on this post so your grandsons know just how much you were loved by everyone and how wonderful you are. I know you are with us and I take great comfort in that. I miss you so very much. Forever loving you, Melissa Pucely. - Posted by: Melissa Pucely (Daughter-in-law) on: Nov 26, 2014

• I fully retired from White Rock Mental Health in the fall of 2013, and worked with Phyllis there for about 10 years up to that time. She was always a wonderful person to work with, sweet and kind. She also ran everything in her area extremely well and if you didn't know what to do about something in the office you'd go to her. It was a privilege to work with her. She also had a great sense of humor and we had many laughs. I will miss her a lot. My condolences to all of the family.

• Class mates since King Edward Elementary School, we became friends when they moved next door on Flora Avenue, became related when her older brother Stosh married my sister Joyce. We shared a nephew and niece, and became Godparents to Glenn together as teens. Our lives have intertwined for 60 years, with life-long friends like Gwen and Billy. Phyllis maintained an active spiritual life, involved with the Catholic Women's League, and other activities within the church community. Phyllis was content as a good mother and grandmother, and she lived humbly in service to her Christian faith. Her final moments were joyful, involved in a loving reunion of family and friends. FiFi will be missed <3 God bless! - Posted by: Bill Debiuk (Friend) on: Nov 15, 2014

• I had the great pleasure to know and work with Phyllis at White Rock Mental Health. There was no day the same at the office, everyday was met with new challenges & variances, but the one constant that we all could depend on, was Phyllis's warm beautiful smile, her kind words, her soft gentle sweet spirit, and friendship which she brought to work each day. Phyllis shared many loving stories of her family, her brother's, her son' s,their wonderful wives, and her 4 grandchildren, all, which would light up her smile and bring a twinkle to her warm brown eyes. She walked along side our clients, included herself in their groups. There was no division between her and the clients we serve. Phyllis was kind to all who had the great privilege to meet her. I shared many good laughs with Phyllis, and I will never forget her great sense of humor! I will miss you dear Phyllis. God bless your family and all those who are near and dear to you Phyllis. Rest in peace my friend. Until we meet again. - Posted by: Yvonne Langille (Friend ) on: Nov 15, 2014
