    Marilyn and family, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Losing a parent is never easy,, regardless of their age. For some reason, I found, that losing my mother was especially difficult. I think that mothers and daughters,, and granddaughters have a special bond, that ties them close together. When someone passes away,, that bond is broken. Never lost, just broken. I just wanted to say that I am so sorry for your loss., and that you will be in my thoughts in the most difficult days ahead of you.. Hugs.

    We’re so sorry to hear of Audrey’s passing. Audrey and Elliott were our neighbours for many years when we lived on Gidley Street in Exeter. They were wonderful people and we certainly enjoyed our many visits chatting with them over the fence.
