We are deeply saddened to hear of Christa's passing and extend our thoughts and prayers to Oona and Iris and their families. We had the good fortune of being Christa and Guenther's neighbours since 1978 when we moved to Markham. I had worked with Guenther as an engineering student in the summer of 1967 at the Dept. of Highways (now the Ministry of Transportation) and was shocked when we moved in and looked across the street and saw Guenther in his driveway. We enjoyed the many neighborhood chats we had over the years. We have especially missed the post New Years gathering Christa hosted with our long time neighbours. She was an amazing baker and always surprised us with the variety of goodies she made. Christa also put all us neighbours to shame with the energy and expertise she showed with her gardening, even into her 80's. One of my favourite remembrances of Christa was when she was preparing to sell her house, she asked me to come over and help her for a second. She had rigged up a makeshift "platform" with a ladder and planks and a step-stool to paint around/above the stairwell. She wanted me to hold the step-stool while she used the roller. I had to argue vehemently to allow me to paint the wall. She never liked to lose an argument. Christa was a wonderful human being and we shall miss her but never forget her.

We are deeply saddened to hear of Christa's passing. Our sympathies to Oona, Iris and their families. We have many great memories of Christa (and the Burkhardt family) at Lake Kennebec. She was a remarkable, independent woman, who continually impressed us as she successfully mastered many of her own home and cottage repair / maintenance projects. She had a kind heart and a warm smile. She will always be remembered with great fondness.
With love, the Heer family.
