Dear Kim and family, Please accept my most sincere condolences on the passing of your Mother, Fran. She was a great neighbour here at Dawson Trails for many years. It was a great experience to meet up with her in elevator, hallway, or parkade. It met with a great greeting, conversation, and discussion about the weather. May she "Rest in Peace". - Posted by: MORRIS J LESYK (School friend from Sifton) on: Mar 29, 2025
