Dear Lloyd, Karen, Dan, and family,

I wish I could be with you to celebrate the life of my precious sister-in-law, Ena. We met when I was 17 when Herman introduced me to his family, and Ena became one of my dearest friends and like a true sister to me. I recall before she was married to Lloyd, she told me that the first of the seven sisters out of the house each day was the best dressed! A gifted seamstress herself, she made Karen’s first little newborn dress from a pink scarf. Ena’s kindness and warm hospitality touched the lives of many. Our families have shared many precious moments. Though the miles separate us, Ena and I kept in touch over the years, and I cherished our phone calls as we caught up on family news. I want to thank you, Lloyd, for unselfishly taking such wonderful care of Ena. I trust the Lord will comfort you all in the days ahead as we hold to the promise that we will meet again, along with our loved ones gone before.

Love, Norma Norris and family

God will sustain you and give you peace today and in the days ahead..

Lloyd,Karen,Dan and family,
It seems so awkward to be sending condolences to my “family”. Because although we are first cousins OnNorris side and second cousins on Drodge side , Ena has always been like my older sister. Our families have always been
Close and as kids we lived a couple of doors away from the Walkers at one time On McFarland st..
A trip down memory brings so many happy memories.
We will miss you Ena but know that we have the hope of seeing you again if our hearts are right with God.
Praying that God will comfort you Lloyd,,Karen.Dan and
All of the extended Norris and Walker family..
God has promised to be with us in the valley as well as the mountain top. As Christians we have that comfort..
May God bless and sustain you at this time..

To Lloyd and family. We are so saddened as we accept the loss of Ena from the family. Although the years and distances separated the Norris and Martin cousins, we have so many, many great memories of growing up together or on visits when at home in Newfoundland.. The older we get, the easier it seems to remember the good old days, and we do fondly remember Ena’s sense of humor, wit, and hospitality. Loving memories of Ena will always be in our hearts. We send our condolences and ask for God’s blessings on all of you as you continue on together.

Dan & Carole,

Most sincere condolences. Kelly and I have experienced the loss of a parent and can assure you that the many happy memories will out shine the sadness at this time.

Karen and family, we are deeply saddened to hear of your Mom’s passing. We had the pleasure of meeting her a long time ago! Please pass along our heartfelt sympathy to your Dad and to your brother and his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. May you be comforted by the precious memories that you share.

Going to Aunt Ena’s and Uncle Lloyd’s was a highlight from my youngest memories, and then became a highlight for my own kids at both their house for a visit or up in the woods at the cabin. Aunt Ena’s hospitality, love and care for others always brought warmth to us. She will be deeply missed and our condolences to Uncle Lloyd, Karen, Dan and families. Love from Matthew, Krista, Taylor, Alexis and Brooklyn from Edmonton.

A wonderful Aunt who always lead by example and set the tone for family taking care of family . ???? Ena will be greatly missed by this family. Lloyd and Ena gave us a home when we needed it and always made us feel the door was open to return, I only wish we could have more often. Lloyd, Karen (Cal, Philip, Chris snd Sarah) and Dan ( Jane and Ian) you are all in our prayers. Much love from your California; Aunt Mary and cousins Michelle, Kersten ( Travis) Kaitlyn ( Jesse) Ryan. ????????♥️
