    Lisa, Heather and Scott

    Many years ago your mom brought a smile to my face with the beautiful crocheted doll clothes she made. I still have some and now my daughter plays with them. I am very grateful for those memories.

    Wishing you sunshine after this time of sadness.

    Such sad news. Gloria and I spent all of our elementary school years as the only two girls in a country school class. Such nice memories.
    So sorry that life got in the way and we lost touch over the years.
    Even after a long separation many of us still here in Port Colborne remember her so fondly and feel the loss.
    Condolences to the family.
