Dear George, Joyce, Tony, Robert and all family. Rolly Barber and I (former police officers in Kapuskasing) would like to offer our very sincere condolences on the loss of your very dear wife/mother. We have very cherished memories of our years in Kapuskasing together and our visits to Trnovac where we met many family relatives and sat and ate delicious meals. We were fortunate to visit Font Hill where dear Mary prepared a beautiful Croatian meal for us. Learning about your mothers passing is heartbreaking. Neka joj dusa pociva u miru.
