We are so very sorry to hear of Roz passing. We are very lucky to have so many wonderful, fun, memories as neighbours. Our Locust tree will always remain a memory of Roz. Tom, you are a wonderful person and a special husband, in so many ways, as Roz was a special wife. “When someone you love, becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure”, something no one can take away. You both are so rich with love for each other as well as your 3 beautiful daughters who showed their love and concern.
Very sincerely.

Tom and family:
It was a pleasure knowing and seeing Roz over the years we have spent going to Physiologic. She always had a smile for Melissa, Peter and I and we enjoyed sharing a few words with her each week. Her good humour and sweetness was always visible when we saw her. She will be missed.
Thinking of all of you as you go through this very difficult time.
Sincerely,
Joan Williams

Dear Tom,
I will greatly miss being greeted by Roz’s warm smile and wave each week as we crossed paths at Physiologic. Tom, your endearing love for one another was evident in the way you communicated and in the grace in which you cared for Roz. We were blessed to have witnessed this depth of love and compassion. Please know you are both in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Tom, Laura, Karen and Elaine,
I was so sorry to hear of Roz’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
I feel so blessed to have had Roz’s love and laughter in my life. I have so many incredible memories of our families sharing Christmas Eves, and other special events together. Roz was always so kind and loving to me and the rest of my family. She always lit up the room, with her incredible smile and beauty.
Roz and Tom taught all of us the value of true friendship and how laughter can carry us through the tough times in life. While Roz and Tom may have started out as my parents’ friends (Robert and Greta), they quickly and easily became great friends to each and every one of us six children, and then to each of our own families in turn.
I feel so very privileged to have had Roz in my life. She has touched my heart forever. I will miss her so much, but I will be forever grateful for having had her as part of my life.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love Lesley (nee Henderson), Kruno, Gavin and Luka Mijatovic

Dearest Tom, Laura, Karen and Elaine,
What a wonderful lady and character is Roz. She will long be remembered by the Hendersons and Mc Laughlins, as a special and colourful friend and neighbour, and indeed like one of the family to us all. We shall miss her spirit and laughter and I can still hear Roz and Greta talking in the kitchen in Rexdale, at the same time and each one never missing a beat or a snippet of news from the other.
Sending you all much love and memories.
Anne

We are incredibly sorry for your loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. From reading the previous posts, your mom (grandmother) sounds like a wonderful person who will be greatly missed. I’m sorry we did not have an opportunity to meet her. I’m sure you will cherish many happy memories.
Love the Pereira’s

Tom and lovely kind Karen
Roz was the greatest listener in the world. She was a earth Mother. She grew her girls to be free.
Roz loved fish and chips. She had this “Scottish heart”
I love you Roz.
