In my youth I spent a lot of time talking with Mrs. Chopko at the back door while waiting for Chris. Such a sweet and kind lady. To Chris, Robin, Craig and of course Mr. Chopko (still can’t call him Terry after all these years) heartfelt condolences for your loss and you are all in my thoughts and prayers
So sorry to hear of Joan’s passing. Our condolences to Terry and family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Terry, Chris, Robin and Craig and the rest of the family as you mourn the loss of Joan today and in the difficult days ahead.

I am truly sorry to hear of Joan’s passing. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
My sincere sympathy in the loss of Joan. She was a younger sister to my friend and schoolmate Eileen. I loved meeting up with Joan at the mall. I was not aware that she suffered from cancer. Your family has had so many losses. My prayers are with you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Terry, Chris, Robin and Craig and the rest of the family as you mourn the passing of Joan in the difficult days ahead.

Mr. Chopko, Chris and Craig, I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of growing up and spending summers at our cabins at Lower Mann Lake and having Grey Cup parties at our homes, vacationing to Disneyland and Fairmont … And always in the background was your mom – so welcoming to our family and so kind and generous. She will be missed.
My deepest sympathy to Terry and family. Joan was my very dear friend. We had many long walks and lunches throughout the years. I will miss our long chats and forever miss you. Love you, Joan. Rest in peace.
Craig and family,
Please accept our heartfelt sympathies on the loss of your Mother. Our thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time.
