I have fond memories of you Jodonna and your brother Donnie (as we always called him). It seems like only yesterday in some ways, but it is a mere fifty years have passed on. Our family's thoughts are with you at this time. Roberta - Posted by: Roberta Baty (Old neighbour) on: Dec 22, 2014

To Joan's family, my deepest condolences. Joan and Jimmy and the Baine family were longtime friends of the Scott family. My parents were Norm and Elsie Scott, both growing up and living in Weston for years. My Dad was also involved with the Legion and of course met up with them there at conventions, etc. My husband, John Gillis, is involved with the Charleswood Legion and both Joan and I were surprised to meet there again. Everytime I went, I always had a visit with Joan and she would talk about my Dad and Jimmy and the fun times. - Posted by: Carol Gillis (Acquaintance) on: Dec 22, 2014
