Your mom was a great woman who managed a household that always had plenty happening. Us Hadders were always welcomed with opened arms for Brandon weekends those are memories we will always cherish. She always treated us like we were one of her own. I was so sorry to hear of the news I know she was my mom's first friend on the street on Speers Rd. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always. It was great to see all of you. - Posted by: Kim Verrier (long time family friends) on: Jun 19, 2013

Mrs. Kavanagh always had the kindest nature and was so hospitable whenever we invaded the often visited Kavanagh house on Elmdale in Brandon. She graciously accommodated the many friends of Bill, Brendon, Bruce and Cathy, while humouring her beloved Sean's impish charms. God bless you Mrs. K. - Posted by: Louise O'Brien-Moran (family friend) on: Jun 14, 2013

Jean became a new friend when my husband Bill, sat at the same dining room table at Poseidon Care Centre. I often ate with them, and we often sat out in the park together, enjoying the fresh air. She was a breath of fresh air, never complaining and enjoying the company. It was a pleasure knowing her. - Posted by: Doreen Langdon (New friend) on: Jun 11, 2013
