To the Jensen Family,
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you with the loss of your mother Treva. I will always remember the many times when I fixed something for her or plowed her driveway and her little head would appear at the kitchen window and she would be holding up a package of cookies. She and Roy were great neighbors. Treva was a classy lady and a wonderful human being.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Treva was an amazing lady. I didn't know her that well, but what I did, I found her to be kind, and funny and as tough as nails. We bought the property on Rooksby and have had such great memories of Treva. We would bring over cookies at Christmas, but we missed this Christmas. I just could kick myself. I will miss seeing her mowing the lawn and gardening, and hoping I am as strong as her when I am her age. She was so strong and so amazing and so loved, she will be missed.

Nancy, David & families - can't tell you how saddened I was to hear of your mothers passing. She was one of those people who was a real delight to know. I never saw her without a big smile or knew of her to have an unkind word about others. She was a wonderful person and will surely be missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Nancy, Butch & families,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Treva will be missed by many at St Thomas. Will all miss her company at church, in the shade of the old pine for the parade, her big pile of blankets, before her injury, help in the kitchen and many other little things to numerous to
mention. Our prayers go out to the families. Peace be with you all.
