Our precious Dannon died last weekend. She was a free-spirit. Dannon travelled extensively, obtained a university degree from UVIC, spoke three languages, was a diligent and dedicated self-employed mortgage broker, was involved in the community and loved her family. She travelled many directions in both her professional and private life. She never married, and was part of a very small family, her parents, Linda and Bob; her brother, Ashley and her chihuahua, Twig. Dannon’s wish to live an exciting life led her down the path of sorrow when she became involved with drugs and the kind of people involved in the out of control street drug activity. She would want to increase awareness of the insidious form of emotional abuse known as Gaslighting which led to her death and encourage any women who are victims of this horrible psychological manipulation to seek help and leave their relationship immediately.
Dannon will be missed by all those who loved her. We will cherish the 42 years we had with you and will miss you forever our sweet Boog! Private service will be held at a later date. Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Oh Dannon, my heart hurts. I remember the good times and your laugh. It was infectious. You had a way of making anyone feel welcome and important. Thank you for the good times and sorry we drifted apart. To your family, I am so sorry for your loss. Dannon was a loving and caring ‘one of a kind’ person who will be missed.
Bob, Linda and Ashley
There are no words that can lift the heaviness weighing on your hearts at this time. Tony and I are holding you in our hearts and thoughts. We were shocked and saddened by the news of Dannon’s passing. She deserved so much more !
I loved Ma Petit Dannon like a sister and have so many memories of our shenanigans. Vegas birthday, Mexico, Happy Tuesday wine nights, Survivor nights at Karlees, Clothing exchanges and my initiation to watermelon wearing Saskatchewan fans.
Bob, thanks for always getting us home safe !
My love and concern over the years felt like judgement. Judgement that came from my own fear. A fear of a life that I too was at risk of living and going down a path I had been down before. For that I am so so sorry.
This song by Sarah McLachlan resonates and I feel it’s a reflection of how I know I felt at my lowest.
Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I’ve tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It’s the bitter taste of losing everything
That I’ve known
Heaven bend to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I’m lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don’t see
But it’s one missed step
One slip before you know it
And there doesn’t seem a way to be redeemed
Love and Light to you.
Kim and Tony

I am so very sorry to hear of Dannon’s passing. There are no words to express the grief and sorrow. Just know that I am holding you in my thoughts and prayers. I wish Dannon peace.
Much love Liza, Will & Bella
It causes me great sadness to hear not only of Dannon’s passing but also of the pain & trauma she has faced in her personal life, We were great friends in middle school and even though we drifted apart eventually I have such great memories from our times together. She was kind, caring, outgoing & always smiling. I want to send my deepest condolences to her family. It’s impossible to understand the grief they are feeling right now and I hope they are surrounded by those who bring them strength. Dannon, you will be remembered fondly and missed by many. I hope you are now at peace.
Dear Bob, Linda and Ashley.. Our condolences to you on the passing of your beautiful daughter and sister. We are so sorry to hear about Dannon. Our thoughts are with you, sending hugs and love Buddy & Helen
Dear Bob, Linda and Ash, words can’t express how sorry I am to hear about Dannon. She was a dear friend and I am heartbroken that I won’t hear her bubbly voice or see her beautiful smiling face again. She has left us way to soon, she has left me with many great memories. I only wish she could have seen what we all saw in her!! I love you and you will be forever in my heart!
