    Dear Don, Lynne, Paul, Joan and families,

    My sincere condolences to you all. Maja was an amazing woman and neighbour. She and Don made sure you all kept an eye on myself and Tina when we rode the bus in our early years. She was a major presence at Cavan United Church and was always helping out. I will especially treasure the time she came and spoke to my history class when Brent was in it and spoke of her memories of being a young girl in occupied Netherlands. Her memories were so vivid. May the many cherished memories you have sustain you through the days ahead.
    Sending love,
    Tracy (Bosman) McLennan

She knew what she wanted and generally always got what she knew was best for her patients! She wasn’t afraid to take a physician to task! She and Don have been great mentors to so many in the community, church and everything they tackled. So many wonderful memories for you as a family to share. Sincerely Ray and Linda
