We just received notice of Vi's passing this evening of March 9th, as we have been away on vacation. Dave and family, please know that we are very sorry to hear that she is gone from this earth, but certainly not gone from our hearts. You all know how much fun and quiet times we've had together. Her struggle with her health only shows how much strength she had to try and hold on to those she loved so very much. We have lost a friend, knowing that Heaven has gained an Angel. God Bless You.

Just one of the many family gatherings at Vi and Dave’s home…..we could always count on her to make a holiday a celebration of family. No one was ever left out or forgotten. My hubby, John was in his wheelchair….no problem….the boys carried him, chair and all into the home.

Our sister was the very heart of our family, the one who would gather us together in the home she and Dave built with love, hard labour for their family. It didn’t matter how much our family grew in numbers, she always found space for everyone and a big pan for turkey! No one could ever replace her and all that made her who she was and always will be in our heart and memory.
Just one, of the many, family celebrations in Vi and Dave’s home……..just one.

To Dave, Kelly,Kerry, Krista,and George.
Violet was a wonderful person filled with love and Laughter. Her smile could light up a room
When our children were small she would arrive at the house and brighten our days. We spent
Many an afternoon drinking tea in the backyard while our girls played out back. Many summer afternoons were spent at the beach in Morrisdale beach.
She will always hold a special place in my life memories
I am away and just heard so will not be able to attend the service. You will be in my thoughts
Fondly
Mary Gatien

Dave, and family, what can I say. Vi was a beautiful, loving, caring, genuine, and fun person to be around. We grew up as crazy teenagers and remained friends over the years. Just this summer we were discussing Tubing on the Miramichi. So wish we had hooked up.
Vi was the love of your life Dave and you were hers. You shared an amazing life together, had beautiful children and grandchildren, all of who she was so proud of and loved dearly. Vi could sing, dance, and even play the drums on occasions. She wasn't as good as you Dave, but she tried. She loved all your adventures together, living in Grand Bay and then to the Peninsula where dog sledding was her passion.. Your 25thAnniversary Party was spectacular...the band playing above in your home. My late husband, Claude, could not get over that. We all enjoyed that night as we did 25 years before that at your wedding.
Dave, losing a spouse is horrible. Your whole world is turned upside down and youj7st can't believe they are gone. ALS stole Vi from you and Dementia stole Claude from me. We both know they are in a better place and no longer hurting or suffering. Because we loved so deeply and unconditionally our hearts are broken. In time they heal and life does go on . Days do get better but we never forget. Things will get easier for you Dave and your family. I love you Dave. My heart is hurting right along with yours my forever friend. God has her in his arms and will keep her until you go to be with her. God bless you all and hang onto all your loving memories. Vi was an amazing awesome friend. I love you Vi. Until we meet again.
