Growing up I was blessed to have her as my parents landlord. She was an amazing neighbour, friend, and baby sitter. From 4 until 12 she taught me many things in life that has formed me into the woman I am today . Some of my favourite memories were our daily evening walks to Victoria park singing “up the hill we go up the hill we go !” , her orange bubblegums she would bring me from her yearly trips to Florida (which were so delicious !) , she always had cherry coke for me every time I would come over , but most importantly my favourite memories were our talks we had about life. Even though I was so young, whenever I saw her in the garden I ran Outside to talk to her. She made me feel loved and she didn’t have to but she did and I will forever love her for that !
and after many years of not seeing her I was thrilled to see her again at my work. I’m so grateful to have this photo with you . You will be forever missed . I love you

Please accept our condolences in the loss of your mother. I was so impressed with how much love there is for her at Renison. She was spectacular in a tribute she gave at Gail Cuthbert Brandt’s retirement party - it didn’t bother her a bit that the likes of David Johnston were in the crowded room. I’m sure she leaves a big empty place in your extended family.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had the privilege to have known Omi. One of the things that made her so special was her exceptional talent of baking. We will forever cherish the memories of her delicious Christmas treats, especially her famous stollen. We also will remember the special bond she shared with Kasper. We will always admire her independent and adventurous spirit. Wishing you peace and strength.

My condolences to you, Hans, Katherine and family, on the death of your Mom, mother-in-law, grandma. My sister Joan at Trinity Lutheran, Tavistock, shared this week that her small grandson, Wesley, liked to bump fists with Erna each Sunday in church. He might wonder where she is now.
May you know peace and the caring of others in your sorrow.
Carolyn Wilker, St. Stephen Lutheran, Kitchener.

What an incredible woman!! So many fond memories! The best one is her and my dad sitting in front of the fire at the cottage discussing their journeys to come to this wonderful country! Both felt so true to Canada! She was special and loved by many! Her memories will live on in many hearts! Sending you all big hugs and prayers for peace!

I have many fond memories of Erna as we were friends at St Mark's, teaching SCS, enjoying the great hot potato salad at potlucks and family celebrations. My condolences to the family.

We had only recently met Erna at her weekly bus trips to Central Meat every Thursday. She was very shy at first but opened up quickly and each month she shared another story or two about her life and family with us.
It was a pleasure to help her out with her “sweet tooth” every month. Erna’s infectious smile and that twinkle in her eye made her unforgettable.

My sincere condolences to Mrs Borch's family. I was one of so many that had Mrs Borch as a House Mother back in the 70's. Most of us away from home for the first time. She really was a kind, generous, reliable loving person. We were so lucky to have her. She even welcomed some of us into her home for some of her special baked goods. She took such good care of us and we loved her
God bless her.
