Greetings to the Dempster family.   I am missing my family terribly, and wanted to be sure you knew how much you are in my thoughts and prayers…
I felt that health issues were too precarious to venture too far.   Pray all went well with you.   I will miss my dear sister, and her sisterly wisdom.  God is good and know He is especially with all of you.   
Love 
Marie

Janet and Family – times like these are very tough.   Rely on your friends for the help, love and support you need.   Know you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.   If you need anything I am here for you. 

Love Betsey

Uncle Don, Joyce, Judy, and Judy:
Jim, Chris, and I are so sorry. Aunt Willa will always be remembered as a strong, independent woman.  We feel very blessed that we were able to spend time with her last summer. I feel especially fortunate that I had a wonderful visit with her at Kristin and Chad’s wedding.  We really had some great conversations.  I have to believe she and my mom are enjoying a cup of tea of chatting about the family.

Having such a large, loving family is a blessing and curse in that the pain is all the more real when we lose someone.  Aunt Willa will always be a part of us. We all have our own special memory of her that will help us heal.

Our prayers are with you.
Much love,
Jim, Mary, and Christopher Raines

Dear Uncle Don and entire Dempster family,

We are so saddened at the loss of Aunt Willa. She was a wonderful person and a very special Aunt. We have very fond memories of her. We are glad to have seen her a few times in the past year. She will be missed.

I am very sorry we are unable to attend the funeral service.

Lot’s of Love, Jane and Mark

Rest in peace, dear cousin. My prayers are with your family at this time.

Love, Marita

Uncle Don, Joyce, Judy, Janet, sons in-law and grandchildren. We are so sorry for your loss. I have such great memories of Aunt Willa that I will enjoy for years. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and aunt.

I love you,

Kristin, Bryce, Emma and Harrison

I wanted to express my condolences and shared sorrow with the death of my beloved sister, your mom and wife and grandmother. Willa filled so many roles and will be missed for each of them. Please know how upsetting this is to her sibling, me. I loved calling and having time to chat with her. We lived too far apart for a cup of tea and I look forward to that when we meet again.
Much Love
Marie.

Catherine, Richard & Family – Our deepest condolences to you and your family. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love Louis & RoseAnn Webb

Dear Don, Joyce, Judy and Janet,

Our thoughts and prayers are with your Mom, you and your extended family. I will always fondly remember your Mom. It’s surprising how many times you’ll get to see an extended family member over so many, many years. Weddings, funerals, Aunt Ethna’s clambake and trips to Vermont or South Jersey just to name a few.

It’s a difficult time for a family even when a loved one’s passing might be the best thing for them, no one should have to suffer but losing a wife or parent changes the whole family in subtle ways. Time will make that easier to handle.

I was always impressed with Willa. She seemed to have a real inner strength and drive that was packaged up in a no nonsense personality. It’s clear that your whole family is better off because of that drive an sense of purpose that she had.

She has moved on to a different life, I hope to see her again someday.

Love & Peace,

Brian Kelly & Family

Janet and Family–I’m so sorry for your loss. There are no words to express the sorrow of losing a loved one. May you find comfort in this difficult time by surrounding yourself with family, friends, and the fond memories of your mom. 
With Sincere Sympathy,
Barb Sparr

Janet – Lorrie and I just wanted to extend our condolences on the loss of your mom.  There is really not much we can say or write that will ease the pain and sorrow that you are feeling other than to say we’re sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

To Janet and family,  There aren’t words at a time like this that can remove the pain from your heart.  Just know that you are cared about and thought of often.  If there is anything I can do, please contact me.  Jessica Warner

To Willa’s husband, daughter and family members,

I worked at the same bank as Willa but got to know her better since our retirement.  She would call be every other month to inform me where the next retiree luncheons would be held and I enjoyed chatting with her at those times and learning more about her and her family.  I am already missing our little "chats". I was very glad for the opportunity to get to know her a little better. My deepest sympathy and prayers to all of you.
