Dear@ReneeFergusonGuder and Tom Guder




I thought your Dad, George Ferguson, was so calm and looked like a famous Beatle; I bet he still does Renee Ferguson Guder, as your Mom was a few years smarter, and I had someone to look up to! Times were more fun back then, with rock music and parties on beaches after you’d been up all night partying, and your parents always partook in all of the beach party games on @Lake Erie. I remember staying out late after an almost all-night party on FIFTY RD. We were all drunk, and my sister-in-law Carole Siemko Hinchliffe made me drink tequila shots with lemon wedges. Wow, we took turns puking in the toilet and bathtub…I was so embarrassed, but we got along with it. We went to the car and the only one driving, after all of his passengers puked on the tires, I arrived home alive. Dennis was uninvited to the Pearce Reunion picnic because of the foregoing; he was sent home to sleep all day and I was forced to go after no sleep and wasn’t allowed to sleep. My wonderful Dad said there, “There was no rest for the weary, I grabbed a horn and pots and pans in my room and tossed cold water on my sleeping head!! I went, came around by swimming and chatting to my cousins. But to make a long story short, after 49 years last month, Dennis and Gail Pearce Siemko are still happily married!

In Memory Of Lost Angels Through Baby Loss

This week we remember babies born asleep, or whom we have carried but never met, those we have held but could not take home, the ones who made it home but didn’t stay. Make this your profile status if you or someone you know has suffered the loss of a baby. The majority of you won’t do it, because unlike cancer, baby loss is still a taboo subject. Break the silence.I am breaking my silence in memory of an Angel named Matthew, that was born too prematurely at 20 weeks! It was a most horrific time for me and my hubby, as we had been experiencing an unimaginable amount of stress during the entire pregnancy. My Mother had just been diagnosed with brain cancer and admitted into the hospital at the exact time I had my pregnancy confirmed. I was traveling daily on the Go-train into Hamilton from my new promotion in Human Resources department from Toronto, and at the time we didn’t have the techie resources that we have now.  I kept very busy trying to keep up to date replying to employee and Department Managers in long hand format!  

As my belly grew, so did my nausea, and the only thing that would alleviate,it would be saltines  and water. As you can imagine I had already named my unborn child and worried that my Mom would never have the opportunity to meet him!  Can you imagine, no Grandma, no Mother for me, no confidant for either one of us!
On Christmas Day the Doctors called and told us they had to go in again and release the pressure in my Mom’s brain, by placing drainage tubes into her stomache! Of course you can, go ahead, I’ve got nothing better to do, so there we were all hunkered down while Mom’s surgery was performed!  Five hours later, I was given a gift from an Angel, my baby KICKED me; it was AMAZING.  I thought it was indigestion, then it happened again!  Well that was the best Gift from Heaven and my Mom, that I could every have wished for. 

I continued in this mode for weeks more, back and forth to Hamilton from Toronto; climbing off the train to get into my Mom’s hospital bed for a cuddle! But she was awake for one week only, during which I was able to show her my big belly and Happy face, Mom, you and Dad are going to be grandparents! She smiled hugely and said I know…..an Angel told me!  I went home elated that night filled with so much HOPE and Happiness that I hadn’t felt for months; until my appointment the following Monday when the ultrasound couldn’t detect my childs heartbeat!

Within hours I was the patient, and it was just coincidence, but it was on my hubby’s birthday; that I delivered my stillborn Angel Matthew – January 15,1983.  

My Mom never met him, but I know for a fact that when she passed one month later,February 16,1983  my little Lost Angel was the first to greet his Grandmother.😇😇

In memory of all lost angels!
With Much Love,

Gail Pearce Siemko

Warm Wishes – Donald E. Pearce, In Memory of Dad who passed March 27,2014

Although it’s been many years since my Father left me physically, my memories of him will never leave me.  He was a very loving man with many characteristics that I believe he has passed on to me; as a result of these positive impressions, I have passed on to my sons. One of these traits is the saving of money and placing the small, even amounts in envelopes, to be used as needed during the month. Another trait that has been passed down is waking early and ensuring we followed suit, if we didn’t right away, out came the pots and pans banging loudly, “It’s time to get up, it’s time to get up, it’s time to get up in the morning!”  If that didn’t immediately get a response, a squirt of cold water on the head in bed……well you get the picture, that did get us all up and Adam!
I was the youngest in my family, just like my Father is in his, and we shared many similar qualities…..besides the Blue Eyes, Blond hair, we are always Optimistic, Positive outlook on life, Inspired by others who have done well for themselves despite their circumstances, laughter is essential (He would always write the Joke of the Day on each of our Special Occasions Cards…..usually not very funny haha) love is one thing that is extremely important in a relationship (Never go to bed angry) and always hug and kiss your family when you say good-bye.  This is one that I have taken one step further, I always kiss my family goodbye and say “See you later, I love you MORE”!
