    Extending my most sincere condolences to the Cyr Family as I am now just learning of the passing of Marie Cyr. I used to spend time visiting her in Hensall pre Covid. Originally I met Marie through DJ Reiger, a mutual friend who lived in Zurich and I frequently visited her whenever I was attending the Goderich Craft Show. Since I am now in Goderich for the 1st time since Covid I am so sorry to learn that Marie passed away in 2021. Once again, my most sincere condolences to the Cyr Family. Marie was such a lovely lady and it was always a pleasure to be with her.
