Posted on March 19, 2010 ‘Christie Kennedy would love to hear any memories of my mom you may care to share…♥’ – below is what was received <3 <3 <3
However, the best part was the aprés-ski food and drinks in the lodge and especially all the free drinks we got from guys trying to hit on her.
She was always a class act & I couldn’t have been prouder to have her as my sister. I will always love and miss her. 🙁
I have such fond memories of doing sales calls in Kelowna and stopping at the house to visit. When Deni was born Jeff picked me up in Vancouver and brought me to Kelowna for a few days to help look after you and give your mom a bit of a break. We had such good time just sitting at the kitchen table talking and drinking tea. I couldn’t add up the hours I spent in the driveway, ready to drive back to Vancouver while your mom said good-bye. She never wanted anyone to leave.
I consider myself very lucky to have had her as a friend, even if it wasn’t as long as I would have wanted. Thinking of all of you. She was so proud of all of you kids and I know she’s smiling on all of us today…. See More
1) when we stayed at your house in Penticton one time she made me the best homemade McMuffins ever – I have loved them ever since
2) on the same trip she took me out for a drive – just the 2 of us in her Jag, down to the Mall and bought me a video game from Radio Shack
She was a wonderful woman. I have nothing but good memories of her. She would be sooooooooo proud of you Christie!… See More
Lots of Love
It’s Denise… one of my vivid memories of your mum is that whenever she came to visit she always without fail brought along her silver canister to make fresh whipped cream for her special coffee drinks with Baileys that she enjoyed so much! Thinking of her today and always… gone but never forgotten!
Luv
Denise
I’m not sure where to start! I know she treated me more than a Sister and spoiled me rotten when ever she could. For some reason I can’t get the old dinner conversations out of my head from when I was a Baby and I peed in her mouth. She was changing my diapers and she sprayed it back all over me, your dad knows the story best, LOL. I … See Morealso remember growing up and riding with her in the 64 TR4 and fingering guys at stop lights at 5 or 7yrs old that wouldn’t stop staring at her. I guess that’s one fond reason I still hold onto the old car. Your Mom was very special in so many ways and touched so many people’s hearts, she will never be forgotten. I used to hear from so many people all the time, how does she do it and look so great! I was very proud of your Mom Christie and always felt honored to be her Brother. Love ya, xoxoxo
Thats’ all from this dorky big sis. Smile your proudest smile today…love you tons xoxox
Hi Honey!! Man I miss you….
You know I have tons of memories of your mom, and to pick one of my favorites is tricky because they were all so special. I remember even then as a young kid always feeling that a moment with her was something to be cherished, and never to be taken for granted. She had a way about her that made everything seem profound and special.
What I can say is that all of my memories have the same things in common. Her presence was so magnetic to everyone around her and whether it be 8 in the morning or 4 in the afternoon she was always full of vivaciousness, and light. Aside from her pure joy, she always looked amazing, stylish, put together and glowing. The thing that was crazy was that it was completely effortless. I think thats because her beauty truly shone from the inside out. What I can remember most was her smiling eyes and her laughter. She always made me feel funny ( even when I wasn’t)and I remember that when you were talking to her she was completely invested in what you were saying, regardless of the 50 other kids that were fighting for her attention from the magic van:) I remember that She was so good at balancing her love and affection equally
amongst her children, and their friends. She would be the mom that we would
have called if we wanted to run away from home, or if we needed advice on
anything from boys to makeup.It is clear that she has impacted so many people lives
by being open, genuine and well cool to everyone she ever met.
