Aunt Betty, I remember you most on Muir Street but I would sometimes visit when you lived behind Bickford Park High School when my kids were little and you would be so happy for the visit. You would always had tea and cookies ready. I remember your amazing upholstery work, you would turn something old into something brand new again. You were always kind and giving. Gone too soon but never forgotten .

Gram,
I am happy to read what Laura set up here. Life forever changed when you left us. I wish you could see your great granddaughter growing up! It hasn't been easy, and not much support , but gramps been enjoying his travels to see us move around. So much I wish I could tell you, so much love I have for you. I miss our movie nights, I miss getting on my bike randomly & driving to the house without you knowing I was coming. You were always so loving ! And made me a grill cheese..All these years later and I miss you more. ❤️❤️

Mom you are deeply missed. I miss your lemon Morang pie and your chop Suey. I will never taste them again because yours were special. You are special and as long as we have memories you will never be out of my mind. Love ya

Dear Auntie, so many questions, never thought to ask! Miss you at the C.N.E. and the Pow Wow!

Mom you are never going to be forgotten. Your presence is always felt no matter what is going on. I miss you immensely and can't wait until I see your happy smile once again. Life hasn't been easy since you left us but I just keep going forward and I try my best. I know that's what you would have wanted. You probably received a very nice pet recently. My Charley boy. Please give him a hug and a kiss and tell him mommy misses him soooo much. I know you were not particularly fond of him when I got him but i'm hoping you realize how much he meant to me here on earth. Please take care of him for me. Love you all so much.

Another year gone by. I still miss you mom. You are always in my heart and will always be my best friend. You are my heart and my soul. I wish you were here because I really need you in my life. Thanks for always being there when I needed you.

Another year and now it's ten. This is too long for me. I keep thinking you are going to call me and ask me why I haven't been keeping in touch lately. I keep waiting for that phone to ring but we both know it's not going to. I feel empty inside without you. The family has fallen apart since you left. Nothing is the same anymore. You were the glue to the family. You and Sandra. You are both gone now. I can't wait until the day I meet with you guys again. When I do, my journey will be complete. I love you mom and Sandra. Rest easy mom.

Happy heavenly birthday to you mom. I wish I could share some cake with you and a glass of beer and a few laughs. You sure are missed by all of us here. We would love to share your birthday as you were always there for all our special days. You always went all out baking a nice cake for us and making sure we would blow out the candles and make a wish. If I knew wishes really did come true I would wish for you to be here just for at least one day so we could hug one another and talk for hours. I love you mom. Please enjoy your special day.

Well mom, it's been nine years now since you left us here. Ever since that day our lives have been empty without your joyful laughter, your big hugs and your daily support when feeling down. You are missed more than you can imagine. Having you gone is like having my breath taken away. Please know that you are loved and missed every day and I look forward to seeing yu again when the time comes. Love you so very much and miss you so very much. Rest in Peace my lovely mom.

Mom it's been almost nine years since you left us here on earth. Nothing has changed since you left. I'm still unhappy and still lonely. I miss picking up the phone and talking to you. I know the calls were not always pleasant but it helped to talk to you about what goes on in my life. I don't have that shoulder to cry on anymore. I really wish you would come and visit me in my dreams one night. I haven't seen or heard from you spiritually and wish I could. Anyhow, I love you and miss you immensely. Take care my dear mom.

As always I can't say enough about how much I miss you and wish you were here. Your laughter lights up the room and your hugs warm me up like the summer sun on a crystal beach. I wish I could sit with you one more time and have a cup of tea and some conversations and laughter like old times. I know the wishing cannot be fulfilled but the memories will never die. Mom, I love you just as mush as when you held me in your arms for the first time. You are forever missed. I love you eternally.

Hi mom it's me Lori your number one daughter. I miss you more and more as time goes on. I wish you were here I wish everyone was together again just like old times. Family gatherings and lots of fun and laughter. Life has been very boring and sad since you left us. I try to go on each day but it's a struggle for me. Anyhow, I love you mom please have a good birthday and remember i'm thinking of you always.

Once again mom i'm here leaving a tribute because that is what i will be doing until we meet up again. I miss you more and more every day and hate that you are not here with us. You have left an emptiness in my heart and nothing here on earth has been the same since you left us. Please know that I love you and miss you very much. Talk to you again soon mom. Hugs and Kisses

Another year has passed without you. Lots of things have changed since your passing. Less family gatherings, forgotten birthday's, lonely holidays etc....I'm sure you didn't want to leave us but you just could not control your destiny. I think of you always and miss you dearly. You are in my heart always. I miss you and I love you forever and ever. You and Sandra are together and that is what keeps me at peace with your passing because I know you wanted to be with Sandra after her long struggle with her illness. Please embrace her.

Happy Birthday mom. You left us way too soon. I still had a lot of things to prove to you that I never had a chance to do. Sandra needed you more and that's okay. You guys are together now and you will have your own celebration along with other lost family members. I can only say that life hasn't been the same without you. If only you could have stuck around just for a few more years maybe I could have felt more settled knowing you saw your great grandchildren and your grandaughter's wedding and her new home. You've missed so much and now I have to think about that every day. If only I could have shown you. Dad misses you immensely and he hasn't been the same without you. People say your in a better place but that doesn't mean it's better for us. I hope you see this message and I hope you let me know somehow that everything will be fine. I need that closure.

Missed but not forgotten.

Missing the cups of tea and laughter we shared on Montrose Ave. years ago. You are dearly missed.

Mom you are dear to me. You are not gone in spirit or in the love I feel in my heart for you. You are only a physical absence but our memories together are forever. You are my strength and my best friend. I have your picture right in front of me every day as I sit at my desk. I honour you each and every day of my life. You gave me life and that was a gift from you, not God. You are the one who brought me into this world. You will be forever missed while i'm still breathing on this earth until we meet again in person.

Aunt Betty was my favourite fudge lady at the C.N.E. It just doesn't taste the same anymore.

I have wonderful memories of Mrs. Massey from my childhood ~ a camping trip at Killbear Provincial Park, a cottage somewhere near Havelock (or Hastings). The one thing which stands out in my memory was Mrs. Massey's laugh ~ genuine and contagious.

Betty Massey, my mom and my best friend. A day never goes by that I do not think about her and wish I could speak to her one more time. I find myself picking up the phone to tell her something interesting that happened to me or just to hear her voice. She was a warm and loving soul who always thought of her family and how much she cared for each and every one of us. Holidays in my mom's home were full of love, laughter, presents being opened, Easter eggs being coloured, stories being told. She was a wonderful grandmother, aunt, friend, you name it she was there for you offering her unconditional love. I miss my mom more and more as time goes by and look forward to seeing her again one day when I join her in heaven. Betty Massey, my mom and my very best friend always. Loved by all who had the pleasure to be a part of her life.
