Condolence: Carolyn, Blaine, Mariah, Theia, Liz , Bud and all the Gallant family. Nana has a special part of our hearts because of her love of life, her humor and her devotion to you, her family. Talking with her just a few days ago, it seems, she was sharing concerns about Joanne,s stay in hospital. Time certainly rushed on for her but her spirit was so strong. There are many of us in PEI who have come to love her as well. Our deepest condolences to all of you. We will be here to support you, Carolyn when you get back. Love and hugs.

Condolence: My thoughts are with you as you celebrate the life of your mom, grandmother and great grandmother. I met Maxine while visiting my mom at Bishop Meadon and each time I visited I made a visit to see her beautiful knitting and sewed goods. Each time I came away with an armful. We had many great chats about her family and how proud she was of each of you. It was quite a pleasure to have known her.

Condolence From: Bobbi Zahra (Skinner)
Condolence: We grew up right across the road in Grand Falls, and my memory of home - and of going home to visit - always included seeing Mrs Durant (I could never call her by her first name!), often in the company of my mum, nattering over coffee. No question she was a life force - pragmatic, strong, brave, and often really droll. How lucky you all are to have had her with you for so long - may her memory always be a blessing to you.

Condolence From: Katherine Burgess
Condolence: To those who loved Maxine, I was so sorry to read of her death. She was such a good friend to my mother, that friendship having grown from years of being neighbours on Junction Road. They spent much time together, doing crafty worships, drinking tea, and solving the problems of the world. I am sure that you also have many wonderful memories of her. May they bring you comfort at this time, and know that she will live long in the hearts of many who were not her family. Katherine (Skinner) Burgess

Condolence From: G.Franklyn Hiscock
Condolence: To Liz,Russ,Fred,and Roy, Please accept my deepest sympathy on your dear Mother's passing. She was a real character, and I have many fond memories of her from years ago,when I visited your home. I also remember her father,Big Dad,and his rides to the golf course with sage advice, and encouragement of our sporting endeavours. Your Mother always treated me well, and I especially remember her quick thinking, as she fixed me up,and drove me home, after Jocko and I managed to knock out your basement door window which left my forearm pretty cut up;however,she saved the day. I think she always did her best for all of you, and was a straightforward realist and an honest person. God Bless you all in your hour of sorrow and God Love her. Sincerely, Frank.

Condolence From: Rev. Randy Lockyer
Condolence: To Liz, Bud, Carolyn and the Durant family. So sorry to hear of your mom's (grandmother's) passing. I was very happy to have come in to the Miller Centre to have prayers with her and all of you on Friday night, shortly before her passing a few hours later. I remember meeting her on a number of occasions when she would be visiting with you at Grand Falls Windsor, she was a very lovely lady, with a positive outlook on life, and, a profound love for all of you, and, I'm sure she knew too how much she was loved by you. May God give you the grace and strength to sustain you in this difficult time, and, know she is now in the embrace of a loving God who gave her life 88 years ago and is now giving her eternal life, and someday you will see her again. May God's blessings be upon each of you.
