thanks, Rob.
My prayers are for you, Ann and your family, Kevin. Suruj sounded like an incredible person.

It's great that all the family was together. It is a reminder that the persons life truly is a gift, and helps ease the passing.

I remember all of the funerals that I've been to in our family, and because of all you guys, I couldn't stop laughing. Aunt Colleen's in particular. I hadn't seen Pat in a few months, and saw him the moment I entered the funeral parlour. When I hugged Pat, I thought I was going to lose it, but then he said to me..."You see Mom's hair?"
I said, "Yeah"
Pat "It looks good, doesn't it?"
Me looking up from eyes about to swell, "Yeah, Pat, it really looks nice."
Pat: "Well we should have been taking her here all along".
That's pretty much how the funerals go in our family. I remember when Aunt Mary died, and the wake was out of Aunt Margaret's house, David, Pat and I, couldn't stop joking and got kicked out by my mom.

Kevin our thoughts and prayers are with your familly and of coarse with you. I believe what will stay with you all are the warm memories that she has given you. They come quietly, kiss your hearts and leave with a warm feeling.

I'm so sorry for your loss Ann and Kevin. It sounds like she was a lovely lady and will be greatly missed. Usually people like you, Ann, are the product of great parents.

Paul I remember at Aunt Mary's funeral at the house and the screen door slamed. Anna-Marie followed "that was loud enough to wake the dead!" Aunt Mary was laid out in the living room. There was no shortage of giggles.

I will remember Mrs. Nandan was a sweet, gentle person who welcomed all of us Fords into her home as family. She had the warmest smile and most beautiful eyes. She was very kind to me and every time I met her she reiterated that I should come and visit more often. I didn't get a chance to visit very much, especially in recent years, but I always appreciated her kindness, sincerity and warmth. Patti and I send Anne, Kevin, Kieran and Kiana our condolences and our hope that all of the Nandans and extended family are comforted by happy memories of this lovely woman.

Bochsler Family Update

By
Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...
