    Dear Elsa, Diana, Tony and your families ~ I saw the obit in today’s paper and immediately felt sad. My heart goes out to you for the loss of your dear, sweet mother, Giannina. She was always full of life, had a great sense of humour and was a great friend to me and my family. I remember fondly us being neighbors those years ago, and the visits to each other’s houses. It’s difficult losing a mother. Please know that I am thinking of all of you and extending my deepest sympathy. (She’ll be visiting with our mom & dad.) Remember all the good moments you’ve had with your mom and cherish them. She is now at peace.❤️

    With love & hugs, and sympathy, Doris, Renzo, Sergio & Mauro

    Dear Elsa and family,

    I read of Giannina’s passing in today’s paper. I am so sorry for your loss. Giannina was a wonderful person and I was glad to read that she was well looked after in her later years. I shall always remember her and Guerino.

    To the Simioni family,
    As I watched the memorial video tribute, so many good memories of your mother and your father came to mind. I recalled your family and your parents’ role in the Italian-Canadian community here. Please know that your mother, father, and you are very much in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

    Elsa & Family,
    I just learned of your moms passing today. So sorry for your loss. Your mom was a wonderful lady. She loved her family very much & would always share stories with a bit of added humour. I am glad I had the privilege of taking care of her at the lodge. Cherish your memories.
    Hugs to All

    Elsa, John and family, just learned of your mom’s passing. My deepest sympathies to you and the Simioni family. I enjoyed your mom’s company when ever I visited my parents at the Pleasantview Lodge. She will be missed.
