Dear Maureen and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother, Grace. I know how much you cared for her, and how much you will miss her. Please know that my heart and prayers are with you at this time.
Dear Maureen and family.
So very sorry for your loss. We only met her briefly, but it was such a memorable introduction because she was such a lovely lady. I will always get a warm heart when I think of her.
Dearest Cathie, From my first meeting with Grace in the hallway in Bates at Mac circa 1972, to decades of hearing the adorable “Grace and Perce”stories, I am so sorry for your loss. 100 years for Grace was heroic. May you find comfort in all those precious memories.
Dear Maureen and Cathy.
Ardell and I were so sorry to read about your mother’s passing. She was a wonderful lady and will be greatly missed. I bet there is a bridge game waiting for her with that Crazy Bridge Group that used to play all those years ago . Please accept our sincere condolences. And I was shocked to read about David, we are so sorry.
Dear Maureen and Cathy,
It’s hard to think about growing up in our neighbourhood and not think about your mother. I can picture her, apron on, in the kitchen, her wonderful big smile and commanding presence. We had great times in our neighbourhood and I fondly remember your mom and dad. It is a testament to our parents that they all respected each other, and gave us a childhood where doors were open and our Firecracker night could be such a wonderful occasion! Condolences to you and your family. Janna.
