We enjoyed many fun-filled and enjoyable breakfasts at The North Star Restaurant with Ruth and Cecil on Sundays after early church. Ruth’s knitting and crocheting were exquisite and we often ordered gifts from her. We have missed them so much, but have many fond memories.

To Doug, Deborah, your Family & Bill
What a lovely lady and talented person your Mother,/Grandmother was! I met your Mom & Dad when they lived at Whalen Corners and came to Zion United Church.
They were great neighbours to Clif. & Leona Jaques, my Dad & Mom when they moved to Exeter. Those four shared a lot of meals, cards, stories and laughs over the years. I have only happy thoughts when I think of them.
Sending our condolences and thinking of you as you celebrate the wonderful person she was.
Sincerely
Yvonne (Jaques) & John Elliott
