Steve and Family - So sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. I always talk about going to the store to buy popsicles while at recreation or visiting my grandmother at the library. Your mom was always kind and gentle. God bless your family during this difficult time.

I remember Miss Cora as being such a kind and friendly person. It was a special treat checking out at the store when she was there and knowing that she would always speak to me in French. A valuable member of the community has been lost. Our prayers are with all of the family.
