This message is being sent with sincere, heart-felt sympathy to the DePass children and ALL extended family/relatives of the late 'Kay'Depass'. Kay and I first met in 1978, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We kept in touch for most of the years until 2025 when she informed me of her health change. As it turned out I had notified her of my health status some time before. We had quite a bit to talk about when we got on the phone as we had not been visiting, especially after the pandemic. We tried to encourage each other as best we could and, despite everything, reminisced and had some 'good laughs'. She was a 'trooper' and I'm a 'nut' (sort of). She will be greatly missed (Eric also, if I dare to mention him in this post). Extreme kudos to her and the children she (they)'reared'. What a family!!! I couldn't help but constantly mention that to Kay. YES! Kay (Eric) "2 [special]peas 'in a [well kept] pod". May she REST in perfect PEACE, the WHOLE FAMILY be constantly COMFORTED and past relationships be the source of the beauty of a 'life well spent'. May the God of LIFE, LOVE, PEACE and JOY be their forever contact and, yes, COMFORT as they grieve....HE will be mine! BLESSINGS to ALL. - Posted by: Jean Walker (Friend) on: May 13, 2025
