We were in Lacolle 1968-71 and got to know Verena and Rudy and some of the kids at that time. I remember a wonderful party at their house just before we left. We have very fond memories of our time in Lacolle and particularly because of Rudy and Verena. We can only imagine how much she will be missed by the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Please know that you are all in our prayers at this time.

My sympathy to all who now Verena. We first met in June 1971 and I have always treasured her smile and her grace. We last met in church in Hemmingford in March after not having seen each other for a long time and it was as if there had been no gap at all. She was full of smiles and warmth as always and humour too. “Imagine that I am still here after all these years” she said. I told her that I would be surprised if she wasn’t here and for me she will always be in my heart and memory… a precious person.

Dear Friends
We are sorry we cannot be with you at this time but please know our thoughts are with you. Vereni brought us such warmth and kindness whenever we visited the farm, our home away from home while we lived in Montreal. Ron loved the fresh bread, and milk that were always available on our visits and Linda especially loved the gardens and preparing meals together. May you find strength together as you think about the many special memories you have as a family. We feel truly blessed to have had Vereni as part of our lives. Sending our love, Linda and Ron

To all the children of Verena and Rudolph, who my siblings and I grew up with, we are so very sorry for the loss of your wonderful mother. She was a kind spirit, so willing to share of herself so unselfishly. She was a great friend to my mother for many years. As a family we enjoyed some of the plentiful vegetables and flowers from the homestead. The Bienz family is rooted in the community and Verena will be as sadly missed as Rudy is. To all of you and your families, we hope you find peace knowing what a wonderful people your parents were. You have our deepest sympathies.

Your mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Verena (Vreni) was my soul-sister, always ready to listen, to discuss the deepest or most interesting or funniest things whenever we spoke. She could reach me where it mattered deep in my heart, like no-one else ever has or will again, a willing listener and wonderful sounding board.

May she remain forever in your hearts and may your wonderful memories of her help ease the pain of your grief.

With all my heart I am so sorry for your loss.
