Dear Berg family. I am so sorry to hear of Enid’s passing. I know she suffered this past year, and it has not been an easy one for all of you. She can rest now. I will always treasure winter holidays in Florida with both of your parents in Palm Aire. I always enjoyed talking to her, she was a bright, intelligent lady.

It's also hard to believe that it has been 45 years since we met your wonderful family and were welcomed with such sincere warmth. We will never forget the many Seders at Wembley Road overflowing with your late Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and cousins and numerous waifs and strays like ourselves. We were so grateful then and will always remember your parents so full of genuine kindness and concern for us. Both of your parents were very special people and we will miss them.

We were two of the lucky people who this unique couple took under their wing 45 years ago. We shall never forget the kindness they showed us, making us feel welcome in our new country and part of your wonderful family. Enid was a warm and wise lady and she and Graham opened their home to so many of us newcomers. The last few years were extremely difficult for her, but she bore it with a rare inner strength. Her interested in all of us never failed, even as she was failing. We will miss her as we know you will and we are so sorry that we can't be with you at this difficult time. Cling to those wonderful memories of her. They will help strengthen you and guide you. With warm wishes, Steve and Barbara

To Paddy, Lorne, Richard and families, it hurts to say how sad we are the loss of such a fine, strong lady as Enid. Fifty years ago, we both lived 3 or 4 blocks from each other, but we became friends by the chance meeting in the Jerusalem shook. From that moment both of them changed our lives in so many great ways that we will always cherish. They say that one only leaves memories and Enid did that in spades - and for a lot of people. We hope that each and all of you will cherish great memories of your wonderful parents and grandparents throughout long and healthy lives.

Enid (and Graham) always lit up the room at our various meetings including our important poker sessions. Enid always kept track of everyone's important milestone events and reminded us of our upcoming anniversary. After dinner together, she would always call the next morning to say how lovely it was. Enid and Graham also produced a wonderful family that we are so fond of. Kind, honest, smart, sardonic humour, proud of her family, excellent friend: These are some of the attributes that we remember in Enid. Many fond memories of a memorable woman. We miss you already, Enid! Irv and Jeanne Salit
