Prior to moving to Tuxedo Villa she spent several years at Riverwood Square where she made many new friends. The highlight of the year was always summer at Lake of the Woods with friends, extended family, and her dog Candy.

Hello - I didn't know your mom, or dad for that matter. I was doing a search for a member of ours who knew your dad, I believe. I was searching for Charlie Wilcox who used to work at BMO. This member (I hesitate to mention his name, until I confirm) had worked with Charlie at BMO for a # of years. Charlie was his loans officer and had helped him a great deal. (I am a loans officer for Sunova.) When he retired, and my member walked into BMO with the knowledge that he wasn't there, he felt like he had lost a friend. He lost touch and was reminiscing with me. I thought I'd try to share. I hope this is the same Charlie. I offer my sympathy to you on the loss of your mom and dad.
