I was shocked and dismayed to hear about the passing of my friend and golfing buddy. Isabel always had a smile on her face and a joke to tell. I will truly miss her. My condolences to Kaylie, Brian, Tracey, Bruce and the grandkids. Isabel adored her grandchildren and was always talking about them on our golf rounds.
My love, thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Isabel was truly a dear friend , I will miss her so much. Curling and golf will not be the same . She always was such a positive person and fun to be around. I will miss those late night calls after a glass of wine and the hours of conversation while she was getting her hair done. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and all of us that grieve for Izzy.

They are not dead,
Who leave us this great heritage of remembering joy.
They still live in our hearts,
In the happiness we knew, in the dreams we shared.
They still breathe,
In the lingering fragrance,windblown, from their favourite flowers.
They still smile in the moonlight’s silver,
And laugh in the sunlight’s sparking gold.
They still speak in the echoes of the words we’ve heard them say again and again.
They still move,
In the rhythm of waving grasses, in the dance of the tossing branches.
They are not dead;
Their memory is warm in our hearts, comfort in our sorrow.
They are not apart from us, but part of us,
For love is eternal,
And those we love shall be with us throughout all eternity
Romolo Family
Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know that are happy.
Our deepest condolences.
Darlene Brown & Bev McComb
We are so sorry to hear of Isabel’s passing having just talked to her in the summer and expecting to have a game of golf sometime with her. Such a ray of light in this world.

Those of us connected to the Providence Healthcare Bonspiel at the Royals will miss Isabel’s zest for life and competitive spirit – especially those guys she took to the cleaners in poker after last year’s spiel.
She will be dearly missed.
Kasia Czarski
Kaylie – from all of your new friends at Foresters, we are thinking of you and so sorry for your sudden loss.
Alex Stalley
I am so sorry to learn of Isabel’s passing. Isabel was the first to guide me round the course at Bradford’s Highlands. Always encouraging and never without a sense of humour, she was a terrific golf buddy. I couldn’t spend as much time out on the course this season – I only wish now I had. A wonderful woman and good soul, Isabel had nothing but love and praise for her family, she will be greatly missed. I’m keeping my head up, Isabel.

Keith & Bev Cleaver
You know how saddened we are to hear of Isabel’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We are so glad to have known Isabel through curling, sailing, and more recently golf. She was an awesome lady and we were very privileged to have known her. We know her absence is already leaving a huge hole in your hearts and your lives.
Love,
Keith & Bev.

Bruce,Brian Kaylie: Fond memories rush to the forefront of my mind as I remember the friendship I enjoyed with Isabel and all of you-our first golf game together-so embarrassed to play we walked to the second tee to start!- and the first time we hit the ski slopes all those years ago–and then there were the Big Bay Point weekends….long ago and far away it seems. I have not golfed or gone skiing since I left Canada-it just would not have been as much fun without my buddy…and then there were the weekends when we all gathered up at Big bay Point-bandits all of us…and no-one will know what all this means except Isabel……Fondly,Mary

Bruce, Brian and Kaylie,
I am sending you all some heart felt support! I will be away on this day or I would be there. You and Isabel, as a family and individually , are intricately woven into my most cherished memories of my time at Bell. You all know how to have fun and how to ensure all those around you do to. I am sure there will be many, many people there to support you but know that there will also be many more thinking of you and sending you the strength you will need. .

Thank you for all the support. Dad said “Look how many friends Nana had, and she still had more!” I guess it’s true.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Isabelle was the person who set Art & I up on a blind date 45 years ago. Art and I had 43 years together thanks to her.
My sincere sympathy goes out to you and your family.
Pat & Larry Trerice
Dear Bruce, Kaylie, Brian, Tracey & family, and Sharon & Trevor,
We first met Isabel in 1960 when she and I worked in the District Office (South) on University Avenue. I was needing a place to live and she helped me get a room at Willard Hall where she was living. We used to walk back & forth to work together. What fun times we had! Over the years, we had lost touch because of our living locations. When we heard the news of her passing, we were deeply saddened. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
We hope to be present at the Welsh wake on the 17th to share memories of her with you and her many firends. God Bless!

Larry and Jan Hannon
We are so sorry to hear of your devastating loss. While we only had a few opportunities to meet Isabel at celebrations involving Trevor and Sharon and her family, we well remember Isabel’s sense of humour and cheerful enjoyment of life. Her outgoing personality embraced all around her.
Reading through the messages of condolence, it is obvious Isabel left an indelible mark on the people whose lives she touched. May these memories help to bring you peace in the cold winter of your loss.
God bless,
Larry & Jan (Trevor’s brother & sister-in-law)

Lynn Mason-Gorman
Bruce, Kaylie, & Brian,
I am so sorry to learn of Isabel’s passing. Fond memories come to mind when I think of Isabel, she was always enjoying life and ensured everyone was having a good time around her. We always had a great time when our families use to get together for BBQ’s when we were younger. Lots of good laughs were had by all. Over the years our families have lost touch, but I know she will be missed by all who knew her.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Lynda DeFoa
Dear Kaylie, Brian and Bruce
I was so sorry to read about your loss. Isabel was truly a bright light when she came into the office. Kaylie, you have all those nice trips that you took with your Mom as wonderful memories to look back on.
I always marvelled about what good friends you two were (not just mother and daughter). There was always fun and laughter surrounding the two of you whenever I saw you together. My heart goes out to you all for your loss.
Lynda
John & Marion Mason
Bruce, Brian, Kaylie,
Our deepest sympathy to everyone, we have very fond memories of Isabel, we had many good times together over the years at Bell Canada when our families were young.
I will always treasure the good laughs we had together. We always enjoyed a good time when we were together.
Our thoughts & prayers are with all your family.
Susan Ford
You can shed tears that she is gone,
Or you can smile because she lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left,
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her,
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday,
You can remember her and only that she is gone,
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what she would want : Open your eyes and love and go on.
What the caterpillar perceives is the end, to the butterfly is just the beginning
I will miss her dearly
Bobbie Rood

I was very sorry to hear about Isabelle. Please accept my sympathy. I just saw her at the grade 9 reunion in Campbellford this summer. I remember always being in competition with Isabel at high school, against her or with her on the same teams. It was wonderful years.
