Final Resting

Bonnie Oct 23, 2010

Well, mom is at peace at last - split between the two places she loves best - Calgary and Georgian Bay. I know now why she loved both places so much and I am happy for her at last. I miss her every day, but then that has not been a new feeling - it has been one that I have had for 10+ years now. But at least now I know that we all have some peace now. I love you mom and I miss you. Be my angel now.

Final Resting

The kids and I are heading out west, to mom's final resting place - in Calgary with her parents. We look forward to bringing her home and finally remembering all the good times!

Pictures and time

Curtis L Oct 24, 2009

In posting all these pitcures of small period of time, I tear. Happier times. Times when a paper bag was more than enough to keep you entertained.

It's good to remember the whole journey and not just the last days of winter.

I cried and I smiled. I wondered what it would be like to be raised on a small farm in Saskatchewan, having only one pair of shoes, a cookie tin for a lunch box, moving out east to start anew, loving, losing and loving again. Giving all and reaching out. Dependable to dependent. Maybe a reminder to embrace every moment. We always search for a qualifier but maybe life just is.

Sincere thoughts of loss

Maggie Jordan Oct 12, 2009

My memories are many good times shared with Ada. She always knew how to start the party! I will never forget when the lightning struck the house on Folkway and I knew that it was time for me to leave!!! Cesars (Seizures) in the afternoon...homebaking...making signature scarves....lazy days at the beach....
Her devotion to her girls was admirable and her love for life will always be remembered as someone who believed that life was meant to be lived in the moment and laugh as much as possible!
She will be missed dearly.

Love Maggie

Today my dearest friend, my mom, she did pass. She lived for the moments, maybe sometimes too fast! She knew what to say, how to calm, make it right, She was always there for me any time, day or night. I hope her next journey she finds what is home, No more worry, no more suffering, no need to roam. Do it while you can was always her advice. Life's about chances, flip a coin, roll the dice. The stories she told always of truth, never rumour. Right til the end she still had her sense of humour. To be with her mom and dad, I know she did wish, If it weren't for the Jones, we would not exist. I'm sure up in heaven, there will be a party for Ada-Lou. Let's all pray that they serve Labatt Blue.
