Condolence From: Edward Reader
Condolence: Hello Jeff,
It is my intention to pass on my deepest condolences to you & Jeannie, George & Thelma, Mary Jo & Steve, Brenda & Eddy and Anna & Scott plus all of Doris’s precious grand-children in reference to your Mother’s “passing-over” last Saturday. I will always remember your Mother as a teacher who was to be feared, respected and loved all at the same time. Just as important, I did have the time to connect with Doris at Telfer Place last summer where I found her to be warm, kind, enthusiastic, genuine and gentle. It was my pleasure to re-connect and get up-to-date with all of you while socializing with her. She will be certainly missed by all who knew her.
Wishing you all peace as you rest in GOD’s loving arms during this time of grieving and of celebrating your Mother’s life.
Sincerely,
Edward

Condolence: Dear Jeff, George, Jo, Brenda and Anna,
Since Brenda's call, I have been remembering the last few times I have seen Doris. Of course, it was many years ago and Henry was still alive. They were just a fantastic loving couple and they seemed so happy together. Doris was such an easy going, gentle and nice person. She was always energetic and smiling. I spoke to her on the phone a few years ago and she sounded like she had never aged.
It seems that everything is so fast now. With all the computers and electronic communications, time remains something that we can't stop and it appears to me that getting older is keeping me busier than ever. Maybe I have too many priorities but it seems very difficult to stay in touch even with my own brother and my close friends. I am now 62 and Jean-Pierre turned 60 in April. We had dinner with our wives a couple weeks ago and we are both doing fine as well as our wives.
We only have our 19-year-old daughter (Julia) at home with us now. Jean-Thomas (28) and Louis-David (24) are in the medical field and Antoine (26) is a business lawyer. Jean-Thomas got married in 2016 and they now have a little girl. Her name is Livia. As I said to Brenda, my sister Michèle is living in her own appartment but she is being take care of by a government program. She never had a normal life. She has a little job that keeps her busy. She reads a lot, likes to watch TV and seems to be happy.
I am still very active as an ENT surgeon. I am involved in the Quebec City university hospital where I teach residents and do clinical research. I keep my fingers crossed but I don't have any health issues right now. Emmanuelle would like me to slow down and enjoy life. Let's say this is my goal over the next three years.
As I said to Brenda, this is summertime and half the medical staff is on vacation. I am on call from August 17 to 24. Emmanuelle and I are deeply saddened by Doris' death. We would like to express our sincere sympathy to everyone in your family. May God help you during this sad time.
Sincerely,
Jacques

Condolence: At this difficult time, I am grateful for a lifetime of memories. The happy times our families shared. Supporting each other through good times and lifes challenges. Most recently, Ma Buckles comforted me through phone calls during my sisters time in ICU and unwavering support through her funeral. Her humor and wit second to none. I am so happy I was able to be a part of her 90th birthday party. I will miss her terribly. Sending love and light. xo Paddie

Condolence: Our deepest condolences on the passing of your Mom. How blessed we feel to have known Doris and that our paths crossed when we had the privilege of purchasing 83 Willow. She was an amazing , elegant, world class lady. We will always remember her warm brilliant smile, her quick witt, her never-ending thoughtfulness, her wonderful stories of raising a family in Paris and her beauty inside and out.

Condolence: Jeff, George, Jo, Brenda, Anna and family, please accept my deepest sympathies as you remember your wonderful mother. Mrs Buckles was the only teacher who could explain mathematics to me. As with everything, her generous patience, warm encouragement and brilliant and sincere smile always made the impossible possible. Doris, has been a true role model for countless young women (and men) and leaves a great legacy through her beautiful family and all those she taught to face our challenges with grace and optimism. We will miss her so much at Telfer Place where her joie de vivre helped make everyone feel more at home...what a woman was she!!!
