To the Urquhart family from Barb Lawlor. Your Mom always came to speak to me when she came to visit the hospital and I loved her visits. She made me feel special. She will be missed dearly. My sincere sympathy to you all. Love, Barb.

Caird,
I'm so very sorry to hear of your mother's passing.
Although I never met her...her obit gave me a wonderful idea of who she was.
She was a great woman, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, volunteer philanthropist and business woman.
Such devotion and accomplishment in her life!
Thinking of you.

Sorry I can't be with you on Sunday but I am in Florida. Your mother was a "lady"and always kept me on the right track. Tuesday was the day we spent together and how. Coincidental that the service is on a Tuesday. She will always remain in my thoughts. Best to all.
Big "O"

Dear Deb,
My heartfelt thoughts to you and all your family at this time. I am thinking of you. Your mother was such a remarkable woman! The words in this obituary are so lovely and descriptive of the strong, warm, intelligent, accepting and special woman that she was. I feel that I, too, have learned and have been impacted by her, through my friendship with you.
