Condolence: Bill, Alan, Michael and families

With deepest sympathy, kindly accept our condolences on the news of Rosemary's passing. Please know that you are central to our thoughts and prayers. "May the grace of God comfort, guide and sustain you at this time of loss."

We so appreciate your many visits to Winnipeg and our times together at family gatherings over the years. Another special memory was sharing a celebratory birthday with you in Thunder Bay. While our trip was impromptu, you and Rosemary were most accommodating in meeting us on short notice and spending an enjoyable evening together.

Your annual joint-newsletter has become a much anticipated Christmas tradition in our household with updates, highlights, milestones, challenges and opportunities keeping us apprised of Vanderwater family happenings over the year. What a treasure!

Rosemary will be forever remembered for her always-pleasant demeanor, upbeat personality, positive outlook and can-do approach to life. We will miss her greatly.

Condolence: So sad to hear the news of Mrs. Vanderwater's passing. Growing up on Limbrick Street, she was one of the 'Moms' that looked after all of the neighbourhood kids. I remember her welcoming me into her home. She made me feel like more than just a kid from the neighbourhood, more than just a friend of her son. She made me feel like family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
