Lisa Verona Slauenwhite

Dear Eric and family. I am so sad to hear of Lisa’s passing. I know we drifted apart over the years but I have fond memories of Lisa. Your home was the epicentre for gatherings during internship and beyond. All of us strays were welcomed with a smile and the best hospitality. We had many good laughs and good times. Lisa taught me to cross stitch and I in turn taught my daughter. Lisa lived life to the fullest and was an inspiration to all. I am thinking of you during this difficult time. Love Lori

I met her as a young dietitian in Nova Scotia. She was so welcoming, lovely and warm. I didn’t know her overly well, but when ever I saw her she was so friendly and engaging.

Thank you Eric and friends for the gathering on Saturday, I saw so many old friends and shared memories of Lisa and how she was so special in all our hearts. Condolences to you and all the family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I met Lisa when she was a dietetic intern and she spent time with me as part of that. She contributed so much to the Gerontology and Dysphagia groups and was always involved to improve peoples lives. May she rest in peace and know we will miss her, a beautiful soul and full of boundless energy💙

The entire dietitian community is saddened by Lisa's passing. She really was a leader and a mentor to so many. Her work will live on.

Lisa was amazing person who supported the growth of the long term care communities. I met her in Calgary as she hosted many dietitian meetings. We were sad when she moved across the country but we remained in touch. She shared her passion and knowledge with everyone to improve care and quality of life for those with dysphagia. I will miss her infectious smile.

Eric and family so sorry for your loss.

I am very saddened to hear of Lisa’s passing. I had the privilege to work with Lisa in Calgary and remember her support, generosity and kindness as she helped me transition to a new position. She possessed a rare intellect and spirit. My deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

Dear Eric and Family
I’m so sorry for your loss, Lisa was a wonderful person. I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa at a conference and then a few years later working with Lisa at a long term care facility in Nova Scotia. She was a mentor to many students during the time we worked together and her love of continuous education was passed on to many people. I’m so saddened by this news and know how she truly will be missed by all.

I am so sorry to hear about Lisa's passing. Wishing the family sincere condolences. I worked with Lisa in Calgary... seems like yesterday. She was a very special person, whom I often thought about and missed working with, even many years later. She was always the one to bring laughter and smiles, and knew how to get things accomplished... a real joy to work with! Thoughts and prayers to her family.

Thinking of you Eric and family. I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa around 1989 after we all finished internship. We did some dinner parties and adventures together with a group of the VGH new RDs. Sometime soon after I recall staying with you and the family in Calgary when i attended a conference, that was my first time there, I remember being grateful to stay with you and your kids. Lisa has always been an amazing dietitian and person. I was glad to reconnect on the Dysphagia network with her again. Take Care, Louise

Although I did not know Lisa personally, she was a part of our Dietitian's of Canada Family and I would like to send my sincerest condolences to your family. With time, may the pain you are experiencing now turn into comforting memories of a great daughter, wife, mother, sister, aunt, and Registered Dietitian.

Sincerely yours,
Linda McCharles, RD (DC#16076)

Dear Eric and family, my sincerest condolences on your loss. I'm shocked and very sad to hear of her passing.

I knew Lisa both as a fellow dietitian and, more so, through her work with the Canadian Association of Foodservices Professionals (CAFP). With her can-do attitude and organizational skills, she was the ideal volunteer who helped change the F in CAFP from Foodservices to Fun . Lisa was a wonderful woman who could light up a room. We will miss Lisa's spunk and sparkle.

So sorry to hear of Lisa's passing. She was such a wonderful person that I had the privilege of getting to know through CAFP. She told me of her passion for diving and taking on students from out of country. I often saw Lisa at events volunteering. Lisa will be greatly missed. My condolences to the family.

Sincere condolences to Lisa's family and friends. I had the pleasure of knowing Lisa through our dietetic work and we became work buddies. Lisa was a wealth of information and support through the Dysphagia Network and her visits to the facility where I work. Her "quick visits" usually lasted an hour as we talked dietetics and life in general. I will remember her kind words, her laugh and her love of caring for others, especially the elderly. I am going to miss Lisa very much and am so thankful for having known her.

Dear Eric and family,
My deepest condolences to your family for the loss of a special woman. I'm shocked to hear of the news.
I met Lisa during our involvement with the Canadian Association of Foodservice Professionals. She was a great support to me with many good ideas and always willing to initiate ways to improve our organization.
May the memories of her help you this this difficult time.

Eric and family.
I never knew Lisa, but I understand the trying times you went through since her cancer diagnosis. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. My she rest in peace. Keep the good memories alive.

So sorry to hear, our deepest sympathies to the family. We'll speak soon.

It was a lovely tribute to a special lady. A true shock and one very difficult to accept when word came of her passing. Lisa always had such determination and dedication and was a one-of-a-kind, always there to help. It was a privilege and a pleasure to have known and worked with Lisa especially with the Food Service Association. She left a lasting impression even going back to the early 70"s when she worked as a menu aide at the old Halifax Infirmary. She will be missed by many. In sincere sympathy to Eric, Elysa, Cameron, Chris and her dear Mother. Thinking of the family at this very difficult time. I will aways treasure her memory and her lovely quilt. In sadness, Delores

Eric,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. Lisa was warm and generous person, always willing to lend a helping hand. She had a great sense of humour and her smile will brighten up the day. I will always treasure the memories I have when we worked together at Windermere. It was a pleasure to have known her. She will be missed.

My thoughts are with you Eric, Cameron , Chrys and Alisa on this sad occasion. Your time in Calgary was so great for us. Getting you know you and see your family grow and being part of it all. We so missed you all when you moved to Nova Scotia.

Lisa was always such a fun , energetic and creative person. So many good memories. I still use her quilted Xmas placements and runner every year. I remember her making a fiberight carrot cake for Lorna. Yikes. She was such a good cook and we had so many meals and BBQ's together.
Such good times.

Lisa's smile could light up any room and we will miss her .

Dear Eric, Cameron, Chris, Elysa, Verona and Family,

My deepest condolences.

Know that my thoughts are with you, just as I am sure is Lisa's indomitable, shining spirit.

Love,

Cathy

Eric: my sincere and heartfelt condolences go to you and your family with the loss of Lisa.
She was such a dynamic and positive person that people naturally gravitated toward her. She was organizer and planner extraordinaire and seeing the sites, living the experiences, and having fun was the name of her game.
She continually had a project on the go whether that was sewing, crafting, cooking, quilting, scrapbooking & she always had an end goal for that activity.
And of course Lisa was an excellent cook: we all have enjoyed culinary creations at your home.
Lisa made the world a better place with her optimism, positive and fun attitude and her willingness to jump in and help out wherever she could.
I treasure the memories I have of you & your family during your stay in Calgary.
Lisa will be greatly missed - like the flowers miss the rain. Much love & my sincere sympathy to you & your family.

We are very saddened by Lisa's passing. Lisa was one of my first university buddies at Dalhousie in 1982. She was a free spirit - full of adventure and love and I will miss her sharp tongue and big smile. I'll miss you my friend.

Dear Eric and family,

My deepest condoleances to all of you. Have been thinking about this ever since I heard this very sad news.
It seems and is so “unreal” and Eric you must and are devastated by the loss of Lisa. As a wife, mother and the person she was.
I am forever grateful to Lisa when I started my job at Windermere, and Lisa happily orientated me to my new job.
I have still many craft items Lisa made in her “spare” time, and will remember Lisa for that as well.

Elysa and family my heart is broken for you. Thinking of you all at this time.

Such a sweetheart. She will be missed.
