It was with feelings of both sadness and fond reflection as I observed in the London Free Press the passing of Mrs. Colbourne. As one who grew up on Iroquois Avenue, I remember both Lynne and Janis well. To you and your extended families accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your Mother. Mrs. Colbourne was a gracious and kind lady.

Dear Lynne, Mike and Family, We are so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing Lynne. She will be remembered as a kind and gentle woman. Your devotion, Mike’s and your own kids (her grand-kids) gave her such comfort over the years. Losing a loved one is never easy but she always knew how much you loved and cared for her.
We are thinking of all of you and offer our sincere sympathies.
Sue and Mike van Baardwyk
