Dear Barry and family, I am so very sorry in your loss of Lenore. Lenore and Mom became fast friends from their days at St. Boniface Hospital. Lenore quickly became a steady fixture and part of our family at every birthday and holiday celebration, and most Saturday and Sundays. Dad enjoyed asking Mom to make sure Lenore stayed over. It took quite a bit before Mom figured out that Dad became so insistent as Mom cooked Dad's favourite, crepes, only if guests and Lenore stayed over! As I became older, Lenore and I developed our separate friendship, one I deeply treasured. I actually enjoyed shopping and exploring different nooks and crannies, ending in a nice gossipy lunch. I only persuaded her to buy a walker by convincing her that going sans only impeded her ability to efficiently hit the malls. Many issues and concerns ere thoroughly covered and sometimes resolved in our <therapy by shopping and lunch,> She had so many depths to her, and it as an honour to call her my friend. My thoughts and condolences to Barry and his family. P.S. Trouble with keyboard, many do not print, just need a new keyboard.] - Posted by: Gisele Rouillard (Friend) on: May 20, 2019

Dear Barry, As you know Lenore and I shared many happy and memorable times during the period we both lived in the same apartment building. Life got in the way since then but the same fate that brought us together all those years ago made it that we remained in contact since then. I was truly blessed to know and appreciate the qualities of this fine "lady". Sending you my condolences and prayers. xo - Posted by: Lucille McTaggart (Long time friend) on: May 15, 2019
