    I am so sorry to hear of Kay’s passing. She was a great neighbour on William Street and always kept an eye on my house, which I greatly appreciated. She was always out walking and if I was out in the yard she would stop to chat. Such a friendly lady. My sympathies.

    Dear Kevin, Shirl, Ashley, Ryan & Lila:
    I am so sorry to hear of your sweet Mom, Gramma & GG’s passing. I feel so heartbroken for all of you to be enduring this same heartache you endured not long ago with Kevin’s Dad.
    Maybe she just got so lonesome for the love of her life and now she is with him as they were from the day they were married.
    I pray and hope that all of you find some peace and consolation that they are together once again.
    My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
    Dianne Wilson
