To Kathy whom I remember when we were very young and you used to visit your Aunt Gwen just behind our house.What I remember most was your mother's smile and her happy nature. If I remember correctly, I saw you and your Mom when Mr. McCallum died in Ottawa, years ago.
My sincere sympathy and my best regards to all the family.

I had the great pleasure of caring for this beautiful lady with such a big heart. I remember her giving me bake goods every time I went with her meds and we would talk then she'd come back and give me more and say "thank you Claire you always take the time to talk with me" I loved it we'd talk about old memories. I was so shocked to hear of her passing and I miss her presence. My sympathies to the family

Please accept my deepest sympathies to you all on the passing of your mom, Aunt Melba. She was fortunate to have lived a long life surrounded by so much love from her family, extended family and friends. I am certain Uncle Lee and Dad and all the rest who passed before her were waiting for her with open arms. Sending you all much love from Kitchener.
