Dear Andree, Don, Brian, Ron and Families I was just speaking with Barrie ( my brother ) who told me of your mother's passing. I have so many fond memories of your Mom - always a smile for everyone and a kind word of support. I see our Mom's happily doing their needlework or painting their " Royal Doultans", and sharing many "giggles" while creating their legacy. Your mother 's presence and positive influence was a gift I will treasure of my years growing up in Oakville. Sharon Brooker Barker - Posted by: Sharon Brooker Barker (Friend) on: Jan 01, 2006
