Debbie and William: I wanted to send my warmest prayers in the passing of your mom. She was one of a kind and I know she felt you two were very special. She would want you to be smiling. - Posted by: Tracy Dale-Tutty (cousin) on: Mar 25, 2015

Dear Debbie, Bill & Families, Am saddened to hear of your loss. Your Mom & Dad were great neighbours while we lived across the street from you. Our Moms stayed good friends over the years and I was very glad to see her a couple of years ago when I was back in the city visiting my family. As the saying goes "They who are remembered are not dead, for to be truly dead you must be forgotten entirely, you will never be forgotten and will remain in our hearts forever." Your Mom will not be forgotten. - Posted by: Jim Stiles (Former neighbour and friend) on: Mar 24, 2015
