Most honoured to have had Mrs. Currie as a teacher, as was I am sure all of her students. A most memorable morale booster I'll always cherish her presence in my student years at Eden. My condolences Betty, Helen & Family, and sister Ada. Diana (Bilkoski) deMontigny P.S. Thanks for taking the time to include the magnificent photo. It gives us all hope! - Posted by: Diana deMontigny(Bilkoski) (Acquaintance) on: Dec 02, 2009

Our heartfelt sympathy to you, Betty and Helen and family. As we are in Arizona, we will not be able to attend your Mom's service. We will miss our Christmas phone call to your Mom. Sincere condolences, Dal (Dalmer) and Edie Bilkoski and sister, Diane. - Posted by: Dal Bilkoski (Acquaintance) on: Dec 01, 2009
