    Our Dear Aunt Mary Lou! Every other Christmas, we joined our families for dinner. I remember it so fondly. I don’ t think I ever saw her without a big smile on her face.
    She selflessly took care of my mother when she was passing, and again I will always remember her fondly for that. She was also a very good friend of my mothers and will keep her in my heart forever. Our little family. Another Angel watching over us.

    Dear Jim and Helen
    I’ve just learned this moment of your mom’s passing Jim, and I want to express my sincere sympathy to you.
    I’m sorry I won’t be able to attend the service because of personal health issues but I’ll definitely be thinking of you at that time.

    Such a loss to her church family. I remember many times when she would phone up to check on Mom if she wasn’t at church. She was everyone’s friend. I want to be like her when I get older because she was so much fun! I think that’s why she, Janet and I got along so well because we all had the same sense of humour. What you see is what you get. Mom and I will miss you!

    We were neighbours at Park Towers for many years and she will be remembered for her engaging smile and warm friendship here at the apartment. You have picked such a lovely photo of her.

    Sincerely,
