Dear Sodge, Alisha & family, and Jer & family. It is with a heavy heart that I send sincere condolences to all of you on the loss of your partner in life, mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother. She loved all of you and you were the priority in her life. I got to know her and spend quality time with her during our time working with the Haudenosaunee National's women's lacrosse program. She was my right hand woman when we travelled to the Czech Republic in 2009, and again when she ended up going to Germany in 2011, then in Oshawa in 2013. I feel blessed that I was able to spend 2-3 weeks each time with her on those trips. She was hard working, dependable, efficient, and a pleasure to be around. I will cherish the memories forever.
Sending our deepest sympathy from our family to yours,
Kathy, Scott and family
