John, Bill, Peter and Harry, sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother; my many childhood memories of her are all fond ones. I will never forget the great friend she was to my late mother Hilda nor the many nights spent warming up by her kitchen stove when we boys all came in off the nextdoor pond, frozen to the core from hours of skating.

Ben and I are so sorry to hear your mom passed away. We’re in Florida and therefore could not make it to the funeral. She was a grand gal and I have many fond memories of her. As long as we still speak her name she will not be gone…..at least from our thoughts. Condolences to all of you.
