I extend my deepest condolences to the family of Mrs. Riley. I was her pupil at St. Giles Boys (Class 1A, 1959-60). A great lady who was a positive influence on so many young lives. She gave us that good foundation that allowed us to grow into all that we could be. Always well dressed. Handkerchief around her neck. Class all the way.

Thank you Mrs. Riley.

Dear Iris, words cannot properly express the feeling of loss of a loved one when it occurs, but God in his infinite wisdom knows best for all of us and when our work here on earth is done and he takes us to be with him it is a comforting thought for those left behind. You will always be close in our hearts and we will never forget you. Jan and I will continue to add to your legacy until we too shall meet you again. Rest in Peace, your work here on earth is complete. Well done thou good and faithful servant. Condolences to Jan Andrew, and the rest of the family.

From your cousin Jan Joseph and family(Maryland,USA & Whitby,Ont.)
