I met Diana three decades ago when I lived in Ottawa.Unlike some people who pass briefly through our lives I have a very clear memory of her warm welcome,her kindness, and her lovely smile. The world needs many more like her. I am so very sorry to hear this news.

Dear Gordon and Philip,
I was very sorry to read of your Mother's death . My very deepest sympathy goes out to you both. My memory of your Mother is of her coming to Huntley Centennial one time to tell us all about hot air ballooning!! I have heard of you from time to time from your dad when in Almonte, one time at the museum.

Regards,
Mary Roe (your SK teacher)
