Scott, Leslie and Nadine, Sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I paused at work for awhile when I found out that she had passed. Flashbacks of everyone on Deerhorn lane ran through my mind as well as simple things like visiting your dad at his office on Ellice when we went to a symposium at U of W. I miss those days and am sorry to hear about your mom. Absolute sincere condolences. - Posted by: Kevin Moore (Friend of the family) on: Jan 29, 2015

Dear Nadine, Scott & Family: How deeply you must feel the loss of your most precious Mother. Over the years we enjoyed keeping in touch with your Mom and Dad, usually either at a family function, over at Arbutus or down at Gimli. Marie was a special lady touched with grace, strength, compassion and a good sense of humour..we enjoyed every minute with her! She was a dear, dear friend to Mom. Wishing you strength and much love, xoxo Rick & Diane Semper and Girls - Posted by: Rick and Diane Semper (Murdoch) (Friends) on: Jan 28, 2015
