March 5, 2020 at 6:03 pmSandy and Mike are our close friends in Ottawa. They sat behind us at Mass in St Joseph’s Church in Ottawa. We became friends then very close friends. At my 65th birthday I wanted only Mike and Sandy with us for the celebration. No surprise, Sandy had baked a cake and we had their cake after a pizza and beer at Café Colonnade in Ottawa. Dinner at their place was an event with the food, laughter and above all our friendship. We spent less time with each other during the cancer treatments and surgery but during this time, prayer and burning candles at church with frequent e-mails kept us in the loop. In the fall we were able to have Mike and Sandy over and Sandy made her famous cheese cake. This was to be the last visit by our Sandy. During the weeks in December Mike was ill and Sandy was the care giver. She arose to the challenge and we often exchanged e-mails. Now our Sandy is gone.
To our friend Mike, we are so very sorry this has happened. You know we are there for you anytime. For Sandy’s and Mike’s sons, we want you to know how much your parent’s love you. Your Mom was so proud to show me her Boys and to tell me their names and their wives/girlfriends names. She adored her two grandchildren. Both parents were extremely proud of the house that they made and gave to the children. Sandy told me of the work that she and Mike had done to create such a structure. It was done out of love.
Sandy’s unexpected passing creates a huge void and we hope that with God’s help you can cope with this tremendous loss.
Sincerely,
Henri and Bob

March 7, 2020 at 4:19 pmSandy and I met over 40 years ago on a train platform in Pierrefonds/ Dollard des Ormeaux, we were both heading downtown; I was heading to work and Sandy was on her way to visit Michael in the hospital. We both were blessed with the gift of the gab and chatted for the entire trip.
The following day, we met again and discoverd many similarities in our lives. Will not go into all the details, however her sons and my son knew each other through school, then Cubs and Scouts.
Sandy and I had both worked at the same hospital at the same time although our paths never crossed. Michael and my late husband also worked at the same company for a long time.
I will forever miss Sandy, she was a wonderful friend and support when I needed her.
We all send our deepest condolences to you ,Michael and the entire family.
May angels support and surround you always.
Michael and all of your family.
