My friendship with Dez began in 2019 when we started working together at Cobs Bakery. Like many others, Dez and I instantly clicked once the topic of music came up (I succeeded in sprinkling some Taylor Swift into Dez' musical tastes, although it did take some work). No matter what she was dealing with in her own life; if she knew you were also going through a tough time, she always made a point to reach out. I will think of her whenever I watch a Habs game, a true crime documentary, attend a concert, hear a song from one of our favourite artists... I promise to never stop thinking about and talking about Dez. This is not a goodbye; it's a see you later, "hun" (as you would say). xo

Nothing I can do or say will help with the pain of such a loss. But I will be thinking of you and praying you find some peace.
Rosan & Ricky, I am sorry I could not be with you physically today, but you are in my thoughts and prayers all the time.
Try to remember all those good memories you have spent with your daughter. They can never be taken away from you.
She is now embraced in the arms of her Grandmother and my mom. They will keep her safe and loved.
All my love,
Donna & George

I wanted to offer my sincerest condolences to Desiree's family and friends. We went to school together and Dez was such a sweet soul. I would see her around and we would chat about music and other things. Cancer is such a horrible disease but I am glad Dez is at peace now. She will be greatly missed but her spirit lives on.
With love,
Tom Sherwood

Words cannot begin to explain what a bright and caring spirit Desiree was. When we first met working at Cobs, I was instantly drawn to her caring nature and amazing sense of humour; she reminded me a lot of my favourite Auntie in that way. My friendship with Dez will always have a special place in my heart, as she helped me to gain self confidence and always knew how to make others smile, even on tougher days. Her positivity and ability to stay true to her authentic self no matter the circumstance always reminded me of the importance of self love, and for that I will forever be grateful.
Wishing all of Desiree’s family and friends my deepest condolences; sending love and prayers for healing to you all.

I am thankful and feel very blessed to have spent time babysitting Desiree as a little girl. She was a sweet, beautiful, and pleasant child that anyone would love being around. As an adult I only met her couple of times in Ottawa after so many years had gone by.
Meeting someone after more than 20 years is kind of like meeting a new person which for me can be a bit awkward but it wasn’t. I felt comfortable, kind of like my soul recognized her soul. Only her physicality had changed, not her beautiful heart. My condolences to the whole family.

It feels terrible to say goodbye so quickly. Then instead, I’ll rather say ‘I love you,’ knowing you’re always with me.
Deepest condolences to all family members and friends who have lost such a dear being. Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time. Wishing you the best and know you have my full support in every moment.

A Father's love..I felt true love the day I saw my Daughter take her first breath. That's when she stole my heart. I locked that love in my heart and threw away the key. Although her body has left this earth, her soul, her spirit, her memories reside locked in my heart until we meet again and she opens the gates for me to be reunited again. I miss and forever love you, my Daughter, my hockey and fishing buddy, my heart. Dad xox

I know I told you "I love you" but did you ever realize how much?
I don't need to open my arms wide and say "I love you this much" only place my hand over my whole heart and say "I love you this much."
Did I ever really tell you how much I need you? You are like the light for my soul, the keeper of the key that unlocks the joy, laughter, music and memories; the wind that lifts the wings I didn't know I had.
Do you see me now and know how much I miss you? Did you watch as the colors faded and the lights went out in my soul?
Do you hear me whisper your name knowing you can't answer me? I know you couldn't have known how much losing you would hurt me, because even I didn't know that this kind of pain existed. I didn't know how much of me would go away with you. Wait for me, watch for me, as I leave the world I will find you. I will only have to go towards the light, the laughter, and the colors. Then my heart will be whole again, the darkness pushed away forever.

Desiree, my wonderful cousin is gone too soon. I already miss our chats. A simple hey just thinking about you message could turn into a lengthy discussion about how a a musical lyric made you feel, how Demi Lovato was single handedly making you love jumpsuits, what we were watching that week be it a documentary or a cooking show. So many things are happening now that I want to discuss with you, I miss your light in my life.

From our comedic roasts of one another to a passing how are you, Desiree was nothing but light hearted and kind. Her energy,kindness and sense of humour was a breath of fresh air. May there be comfort in knowing that someone so special, will never be forgotten. In another time,in a happier place, we will meet again. Rest easy Desiree.

I’m so sorry to hear of Desiree’s passing. We went to school together from 7th grade on and she was always a friendly face. We ended up connecting again years later when I commissioned her to make cakes for family events and she was so sweet and accommodating - everyone always raved about her work. My sincerest condolences to her family and friends ❤️

This seems to be the only pic I have with Des as I was usually kicking her butt in the gym when I saw her! We originally met back in 2014 as simply client and trainer but grew more into friends over the years. We got especially close after her diagnosis as I too battled cancer not to long ago. We would have long chats the only way fellow cancer people can and shared so many laughs. I miss our chats already. We were also lucky to be on the receiving end of her genius baking skills on a few occasions! Just check out this fondant cake she made for Chris's birthday. The weight, the water bottle and the iPad are all edible and all delicious! Chris and I are both so grateful to have known Desiree, she was such a caring and generous person.

Desiree is a profound light of faith, of happiness and seeking good. Her smile penetrates a dim soul and makes the spirit stronger. She is a blessing that knows no boundaries and will continue to touch and protect us all. This, I felt, when first meeting Desiree, just a few weeks ago. She is proud, proud Micmac, proud Canadian, proud of her parents and her brother, and her relations and friends. Desiree is in all of us as her soul moves us to be a better, more united, people on this sacred land.
I love Desiree's heart, soul, spirit, and light. Look around, wherever you are. Whether you are beside water or looking to the skies, Desiree will be near, guiding each of you safely, from Heaven.

You made me some baklava for a party i was going to. It was a hit! The most fond memories though, were of seeing your moms face light up anytime she told me stories about you and your sibling.

This is my favourite picture with Dez. It was on one of our many trips to Montreal. Just us, being silly and trying new things. I will always cherish all our memories and I am so grateful to have had my friendship with her. Dez had a huge impact in my life and losing her was truly devastating. Sending my condolences to her family, extended family and friends. Dez, I will always love you and you will always be my bestie.

My beautiful friend. I’ve been listening to so much Metric lately. Certain lyrics hitting in certain ways. But mostly I smile because I know how much this band meant to you and I feel fortunate to have shared in some epic memories seeing them together. Love you so much — you’re too good for this place anyway and my life is better having known you, you made everyone’s life better because you’re literal gem.

I never had the opportunity to meet Desiree, but heard so much about her, and found her to be a great source of inspiration. From all that I’ve heard and seen, she worked hard, she loved hard, and she fought hard. I will always remember Desiree as a dedicated daughter, who passed on messages of thanks to me for the friendship I have with her mom.
My deepest sympathies to her beautiful family. May the sweet and treasured memories you have of her dominate this time of grief for you all.

Desiree was truly a one of a kind. She was my bestfriend and I have so many great memories of her. I can still hear her laugh when we would reminsce about all the good times. She had a contagous laugh and a sense of humor like no one else. She never judged and was selfless.
She was one of the only people who really got me and when she left this world a part of me left with her. She made such an impact on my life and I will forever have her in my heart and memories.
My deepest condolences at this very difficult time.
Love always,
Chad McMahon
