Dear Carol-Ann, Danielle and Donald,
So sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I remember Danielle coming over to help me babysit my brothers and sisters if my parents went out. I remember house-sitting at the house the day of Carol-Ann's wedding. My family remembers the beautiful and sturdy bed that your family built for my brother, Thomas. May Gemma rest in peace, and may you be consoled that she is no longer in pain. From Monica (Hardy) Maxan on behalf of the Hardy family.

It's been an honour to have worked with Gemma at the Haematology Lab and the DVA. She welcomed me with open arms when I first landed here as an immigrant. I knew then that she has a heart of gold and I relied on her in everything. Thank you Frank and family for sharing her life with me. I will surely missed her.

To Gemma’s family: Please accept our heartfelt sympathy. To experience a loss at any time is difficult but especially so at Christmas time. When the announcement was made of Gemma’s passing, I didn’t clue in immediately that Monsignor was speaking of Gemma Holmes. Gemma was such a dear gal...The McNally-Kingston’s formerly of Beaconsfield Avenue.
To Alice: We have not crossed paths for many years but my thoughts go back to the days when you played and I sang (or I attempted to do so) at various functions—mostly weddings @ Stella Maris and our Chris’ baptism almost 43 years ago. Alice, I am so sorry for your loss and all of you will be in my prayers. Anne McNally-Kingston.

Frank and Family
Words cannot express my sadness at Gemma's passing. Here are a few quotes that helped me a little with my losses.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
The sadness helps me know the special time we spent together.
God has given us memories so that we might have roses in December.
She is as close as the mention of her name.
Thinking of you. Take care
Marilyn

Frank and family. We loved Gemma as our chief tech in Haematology. She was the best person that I worked under. She appreciated her staff and treated them well and fairly. We had many a laugh. I remember her telling me a story about having a hard birth when she had Donald and how she had the case room and Dr. Lord in stitches. I still laugh when I think of her telling me it. Her retirement party was the best party we ever had. Everyone loved Gemma dearly. She always smiled and told you how good you looked everytime you saw her. I was sad to hear she had passed. Cherish your wonderful memories as you mourn your loss and celebrate her life.

What a wonderful lady I was so blessed to have known so well from the former Provincial Laboratory and the SJRH Laboratory Medicine . Gemma was one of the best in the Haematology Lab! She had a heart of gold and was truly loved and respected by all of our Laboratory family! I have such treasured memories of this great lady both in our work environment and all the social functions we had, especially those 24 hour charity Labatt Relays we were part of. I send my very deepest sympathies to Frank and all her family during this most difficult time.
