  • Wendy was a devoted wife, mother and co-worker. I remember one of our first trips together we went for a long walk in Vancouver, sat by the shore line and just talked for hours. Never had a bad trip with her, always gave everything to her job. Loved her bubbly personality. Great lady. R.I.P. MY DEAR. - Posted by: ivan zenchuk (co-worker) on: Jun 20, 2018

My condolences to all of her family and friends. - Posted by: Esther (co-worker from Via) on: Jun 19, 2018

  • Dear Donovan, Aaron, Triton, Gertrude, Joe, Wayne, Kathleen and Family Bernie, Ayla, Liam and I are so heartbroken and feel the depth of sorrow that you are going through at this time. Wendy was a ray of sunshine who brought joy and laughter to everyone she met. She was a true gift to this world and to each of you a loving and caring partner, mother, daughter, sister and aunt. And whether she was plucking feathers from chickens with Morris at the farm, or cooking up a family meal with you, Brenda and Kathleen, her heart and soul was family. I’m sure that you never knew who she would bring home with her after a trip or what occasion needed to be celebrated next, but Wendy did it with all her heart. She was such a warm and friendly person, entertaining with friends and family, welcoming us into your home for special moments, birthdays or Christmas, or just to drop in to say hello. The last time that we saw Wendy was just a few short months ago when we had made a promise to get together when the weather got better to share some laughter and catch up on how the kids were and on our busy lives. In reflection of that day, it seemed like a solid plan for the future. But time moves so swiftly and now we will only meet with her in our wonderful memories of her. I know that for Wendy and all of you, life took a horrible turn which now has brought our family and everyone who loved her, whose lives were touched by her endless generosity and beautiful smile, to this place in time when we gather to honour her life and the share memories all of us created with her. While time will now slowly pass as life continues on, memories will keep her alive in all of our hearts. So, while we have lost a beautiful woman whose warmth and welcoming spirit, one of which we may never know again, you can find peace knowing that she is with Brenda and Morris and in the loving arms of God, smiling down upon you, Don, Aaron, and Triton, Gertrude, Joe, Wayne, Kathleen, John and their partners, all the Aunties and Uncles, Nephews and Nieces and all whose life was touched by Wendy. Aaron, Triton, you are living proof of your mother’s love. And you have grown into strong young men of whom she was very proud. And she will live on in you. Don, we are so very heartbroken for you. So many wonderful years you shared with Wendy and so many adventures you shared. She loved you so very much. To live in this world you must be able to do 3 things: To love what is mortal; To hold it against your bones knowing you own life depends on it; And when the time comes to let it go, to let it go. As your Family grieves, we grieve with you, Always with Love and in Wendy’s memory, Margaret, Bernadette, Ayla and Liam - Posted by: Temple-Bertrand Family (Former Co-worker and FAmily Friends) on: Jun 19, 2018

  • Triton - My family and I are saddened to hear of this. We extend to you and your family our sincere condolences. I remember the time I went to your house when we were both in Guyot. Your mom was the nicest host and even though she had brought us a lot of food, she still popped in from time to time to see if we needed anything else. I also remember when she brought us juice after our basketball game back in Grade 9. She was warm and caring. May she RIP. - Posted by: Gordon Showers (Friend of her son. ) on: Jun 18, 2018

  • What a shame this beautiful lady was taken far too soon. My heart goes out to all her family who loved her dearly especially Donovan and the two boys. Although I hadn't seen Wendy in many years, she is still a senior sista at Via Rail and I respected her totally. She was always so funny and so much fun to be around. I remember when I moved to Manitoba for work in 1991, Wendy had me over for dinner. We had an extremely fun evening together. Every time I have bought plantain since then I think of her. She taught me how to cook it. Wendy was an amazing person. And like many other people have stated she has a smile that lights up a room. She will be dearly missed. Goodbye my love see you on the other side. Tracy MacLean - Posted by: Tracy MacLean (Co-worker and friend. ) on: Jun 17, 2018

  • Wayne and family, Sincere condolences. Brent Hamel - Posted by: Brent Hamel (Friend) on: Jun 16, 2018

  • Wendy was a very special person who was always so kind to everyone. She was especially kind to me when we worked together for 2 seasons at VIA. She was always on my side and encouraged me in everything I did. I looked forward to seeing her every time I went to work and she always greeted me with the warmest of smiles, no matter what, and she always had questions for me about my life. She had such a lively energy and always knew how to enjoy herself and make the best of any situation. We had so many great talks at work and I will cherish those memories forever. She loved talking about her family, especially about her sons, whom she was so proud of. I am deeply saddened by her passing and I send my most sincere condolences to her family and friends in this very difficult time. - Posted by: Kelsey Marcotte (Coworker) on: Jun 16, 2018

  • I am so saddened to hear of this. I cannot believe how such a beautiful soul could be taken at such a young age. We have been family friends for so many years. Although we would see each other on rare occasions, they were the best times just being around such a beautiful, smiley, full of life girl who would be there for anyone in need. To Donovan, the kids and family, our deepest condolences. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all; we are so very sorry for your loss.
