My mother Mrs Freda Sutton formerly Mrs O'Reilly, sadly has passed on March 5th 2020. For those of you who knew her she was a very kind that Stern woman. A very hard-working lady who held position as a superintendent in Aurora Ontario for 40 years. Anyone who knew the building would brave you could eat off the floors. My mother raised me on her own as my father left her when she was pregnant she did everything she could to provide for me. She remarried when I was 7 to a man named Don Sutton. Don pass on September 5th 1999. Unfortunately on September 3rd 1999 I had had a life-changing car accident where I be was hit by a dump truck in my very small Honda prelude. With my step father's passing am I a accident I moved home with my mother at that time we were both going through a lot I had not lived with my mother since I was 15. In spite of the unfortunate circumstances I was happy to have a chance reunite with her and that we could be there for each other in our time of need. Then wear these e x but we got through them I spent seven years living with her in the two-bedroom apartment that she work from. When the time came and I'd recovered I moved just five houses away gradually a few years later I moved to the other side of town and eventually loop down to Toronto nevertheless I was still there for my mother whenever she needed me and still did her groceries every Thursday as she asked I am the only child my mother did not drive and since I was the only one with a vehicle I took her to all her appointments and whatever she needed to go we maintained fairly close relationship in spite of the small distance of my move my mother worked very hard and that was the main focus of her life many times I've asked her to go to bingo or to dinner but she would always be most concerned about the tenants at the building I did not want to go far in case something went wrong she was a very very hard worker I imagine she got that from my grandfather who passed away a year before I was born as my mother was brought up in England during the war times and she started working at 16 years old I never stopped working since. sometimes for me it was difficult to understand why she couldn't even take a day off just one day to go out and do something enjoyable away from the building but those were her ethics and she stood by them ffirmly. My mother and I maintain a close relationship in spite of the small distance I'd moved away I was an only child and I was the only one with a vehicle as my mother did not drive so I was always there for her to take her to her appointments or wherever she needs to go. I could never understand why she would never take at least one day off just to get out and do something enjoyable but she would never leave the building and fear of something going wrong for the tenants may need her as I said she was the hardest worker I've ever known unfortunately over the next few years I had another two car accidents none of them are my fault the second one I was hit by a transport at 7 months pregnant and I lost the baby and the third one two years after that I was rear-ended by a Volvo shortly after that I was hit by an animal and got sepsis I was in the hospital for 5 months to say the least I got out of the hospital I was not able to regain employment I stayed with my mother again for a short time left trying to get on my feet desperately as hard as I could but my mother fell and broke her leg shortly after that and I went back to take care of her so she would not lose her housing when she regained her ability to do her job and be on her feet I went back out and try to get myself situated buddy year-and-a-half after that my mother fell and broke her hip again I went back home to take care of the building and my mother until she was able to regain her house and get back to her position Leilani was now in her sixties I already talked to her about retiring or letting me take over her job for her but I stubborn as she was she insisted that she would continue to keep working as long as she could I myself struggled to get reemployment and get back on my feet they're difficult years for both of us. I started to see my mother's house sale I started to notice her memory fading and at that time I could not be there for her as I was desperately trying to get on my feet I had gone down to Toronto to try to get employment and housing and now it's time that passed so quickly and had been almost 15 years my mother was now in her 80s why was in my fifties I had not anticipated things to turn out the way they were they were some of the toughest times I think both of us ever had. I was just in the middle I finally getting housing situated and some employment and I received the call my mother had passed. I knew that I had been designated as the executor of her well and I immediately went up to Aurora to take care of the affairs. What I found devastated me.
