I have many memories of Christmas mornings stopping at the house with my Dad (George Brown) and other visits with Aunt Tessie and Uncle Gordon. I am saddened to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Skipper and Gracie,

I am sorry to hear of your mother and sister's passing. She was a great woman. My memories go back to cutting across the garden from my Granma and Aunt Kit's house.

The last time I saw her was at a her work in Garden City.

Again, I am sorry for your loss.
