Julie, Please accept my heartfelt condolence on the loss of your dear mother. Her brilliant smile, optimism and joie de vivre made a real impact on me and I admired her greatly for all the enthusiasm put into everything she did. Warm regards, John King

My sincere sympathy is extended to the entire family. I have very fond memories of your Mother while I attended St. Clair/St. Matthew Church. It was lovely to catch up with you this last year since moving to Peterborough. God Bless you all as you share your treasured memories with one another of your Mother.

On behalf of all the staff, parents and children at Vaughan Co-op Nursery School I send Daisy's family and friends our sincerest condolences.
It is truly an honour to continue to represent the nursery school that Daisy founded all those years ago. We flourish in the same Hillcrest neighbourhood in Toronto where it was first established back in the 40's and became incorporated in 1951.
We will continue to keep Daisy's vision, in the forefront of what we do at Vaughan for many years to come.
Thank you Daisy! You will not be forgotten.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Chris sent me an email this morning and I was saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. We are now living in Nova Scotia and will not make the funeral. I guess we all should have kept in touch more. Margaret (Vallance) Sarty
