BRUEGGEMANN _ Liselotte (Lilo), gently passed away on February 21st, after a long illness. Born in Germany on March 3, 1914, and a resident of Canada for nearly fifty years, our beautiful and brave "Omi" led her long, extraordinary and honorable life with great integrity, charm, dignity, independence, adventuresomeness, discipline, generosity and hard work, despite of all the deprivations associated with two World Wars, and the challenges of being a single immigrant parent in a country she came to love dearly. 'Omi' was a loving, giving, supportive and fiercely protective mother to her children and grandchildren and always did more than her best to help them out - to go to university, to learn new skills, to consider new philosophies, and to see new places. For these marvelous gifts, all her off-spring love and thank her. Son Hubert Kurz; daughters Kareen Zebroff (Peter) and Malve Slocum-Burns; grandchildren Cheryl Kurz-Knights, Sylvie (Cam Martin), Tanya (Mark Hughes) and P!
etra Zebroff, Eric Slocum (Bridget), Michael (Kerri Booth) and Stephanie Kurz; and great-grandchildren Megan and James Martin and Tashia Hughes (living in Africa).

Joseph Satish Chandra "Like A Rock" Fiji Joe April 10th, 1934 - April 5th, 2004. One year has passed since the sad day when one we loved was called away. The reason you became ill - I'm not sure.

We relive minute by minute of your life. We can hear you say "Goodbye my Children" love each other as I loved you as I'm in heaven watching over you. To some you may be forgotton. To others, part of the past. But to us who loved and lost you memory will always last. A year ago today we lost a special Dad, Husband, Son, Aja, Nana, Brother and Uncle. Sadly missed - Always Loved
