    Nana, I will miss you, however I am glad that you are celebrating with Popa and not suffering anymore. Some of my favourite times were our road trips we would take and listening to the Statler Brothers up and singing along to them. I love you very much.

    Dear Susan, Linda and family

    Thinking of you and your families at this time of great sorrow.

    As kids growing up in London, I have such great memories of all the wonderful sing-alongs at family gatherings.

    I can still hear the beautiful harmonies, as Aunt Bobbie would sing along like an angel.

    Our deepest sympathies, with much love
    Gary, Eva and family
