We were very sorry to hear of the passing of your mother, Janice. I remember how gracious and kind she was. I still have and treasure the little crystal vase she gave us as a wedding gift 39 years ago. Thinking of you with sympathy.
We would like to extend our condolences to your family on the passing of your mother.
Aunt Mildred will be remembered as an independent soul who never had an ill word to say about anyone. She was very active all her life and took such an active interest in everyone. Her and uncle Tom will be having a great time getting reacquainted with those who have gone ahead....
Dear Jeff and Janice, You have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mother. She was a very special person and I always enjoyed our chats. She also helped me do my first quilt, by doing the top and coming and staying at our place and teaching me how to quilt. We certainly won’t forget her and will keep you all in our prayers. Mary Anne and family
I would like to express my sympathy to Jeff and Janice and their spouses. She always told me how very proud she was of all of you and expressed her thanks for all the kindness and thoughtfulness you showed to her. I knew Mildred through Siloam United Church and was fortunate to have many wonderful conversations with her. What an amazing woman! It was so nice to see her at the Rose Birrell Bazaar just last fall and have a little chat. I shall always remember her.
