Hello Bill. I was so sorry to read of Shirley’s passing and regret we had lost touch over the years. Shirley and I had our sons Brian and Glen within days of each other and it was fun to watch them toddling around together at our home on Lansdowne so many years ago. Mike and I send our deepest condolences to you and your family and wish you peace at this difficult time. - Posted by: Monica (Chesworth) MacWilliam (Friend) on: Sep 26, 2026
