I have a lifetime of happiness to thank my mother for.
She taught me how to be optimistic and positive everyday.
She always saw a silver lining in a dark Cloud.
I have passed this amazing Outlook to my children, Logan and Taylor.
So we have a lot to be grateful for.

I love you Granny, thank you for hanging on so we could say goodbye. Thank you for everything! For all the precious memories of childhood times at your house. I’ll remember fondly for the rest of my days. I expect now to see lots of kitties around, and I’ll know it’s you just saying hello!

I pray you are absolutely free of pain, fear or any clinging. That you are absolutely at Peace.
May your spirit Live and Rest in the arms of Jesus, in the house of the Lord, in the Holy Home of Love that birthed you, and lovingly brought you back in.

I want you to know you will be remembered and your legacy will continue, strong, connected, and inspiring the world. Because every drop in the ocean is the whole ocean itself. Your life mattered, and your family is the bond and glue of Life. Your life was Love in all its glorious forms- messy, beautiful, painful, hilarious, heart warming, and full of delicious food. Especially potato chips.

You showed me it’s not a sin to appreciate the deliciousness of Life. And that in the end, the only thing that matters is Love. Just like in the beginning. And it continues, like waves in the Ocean.
We are all part of it, temporarily rising like waves, peaking and falling back into the One.
There is no true loss, only forms changing, and a constant Presence of Love.
I know you are here with us, and in us. You are ever here. No longer bound by one form, you are Free.

A guide, a kind heart, a loving soul, a precious mother, grandmother, and GG. Forever remembered, honoured with gratitude, your Legacy of Love is eternal.

Rest easy Granny. Be Free. Be at Peace. We Love you. Until we meet again. ❤️

I have many fond memories of Aunt Diane. Most of my memories are from Christmas visits and watching the original How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
Aunt Diane was always kind and good hearted.
She will be missed by all who knew her

Diane Wilkinson was like a second mother to me…
Growing up in Park Royal in the 1960’s She always answered the door on Sandgate Cres, with warm smile and calming voice always treating me like one of her own children..
Fortunately I got out to visit her in April 2024 and I got to hear her calming voice for the last time,…
She will be truly missed by everyone who she touched their lives,
Rest in peace Mrs Wilkinson and thanks for being a part of my life …
Bill. & Holly Wainwright, Brampton Ontario,
