Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. We have fond memories of your Mom and Dad and their many visits to Newfoundland always with children along in the car. My visits to Toronto over the years included wonderful hospitality and friendship from all of you. May Aunt Cecelia rest in peace. Love Allison, Carol and Keith

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I enjoyed many, many summer days with Joan, Mary, Carol and Dan at the cottage. Playing Monopoly or cards while sitting on lawn chairs, swimming in the lake, going to the store for candy or a treat, or Saturday night at the movies - your mom was such a big part of my childhood! She must have felt like she'd adopted me, I spent so much time there! I always enjoyed seeing your mom and dad when our parents visited and in recent years, I shared periodic telephone conversations with your mom. She was a kind and wonderful lady who loved her family - my deepest condolences.
