I recall her devotion to community... and her devotion to family. She lived a long time, but I wish she'd lived long enough to make more of an impact on her great grandsons. Hopefully her presence will be felt at her son's 50th wedding anniversary, and that will spread to her other descendants, all of whom will be present. - Posted by: Lorne Cam (Grandson) on: Jul 04, 2013

I remember fondly her ginger snaps and her love of communication and community meals. I've inherited her love of genealogy, and frequently strive to remember what she taught me of where she and we came from. The world could do with more like her. With three sons, I'm doing what I can to spread her impact on the world. I've tried to spread her influence to my sons. - Posted by: Lorne Cam (Grandson) on: Jan 04, 2013
