I was also born in Winnipeg, but sadly at aged 5 we returned to the UK. I hardly remember Islay, but have always exchanged letters over many years. I loved her as a long lost cousin, & had many a laugh on the phone, so I do know her sense of humour, my one regret is not knowing her personally. I will miss her, even from afar, her letters were always a pleasure to read. At peace now Islay, love to Roy, from Australia. Elva & family. - Posted by: Elva Armstrong (Cousin) on: Jul 10, 2013

I am so glad that I had the opportunity to have met Ila and get to know her. She was a fiesty little lady with a great sense of humour, independence and class. - Posted by: Heather Glaser (Acquaintance) on: Jul 08, 2013

As children we were the envy of all our friends as she sent us beautiful gifts she and our mam wrote to each other for years then my sister Islay and I took over after mothers death in 1977. I saw her on a flying visit through Winnipeg in 2008 she still looked as beautiful as ever, looking so much like our mam and all the other verrall cousins R.I.P Sandra & Islay x - Posted by: Sandra and Islay from uk (Second cousins) on: Jul 07, 2013

I worked indirectly with Islay in the Dept. of Executive Council in the late 1970's and early 80's. She was always a class act and a lady. God be with you Islay. Love Darlene - Posted by: Darlene Hoffman (former co-worker) on: Jul 06, 2013
