Jean-Ann, David & Michael,
Your mom was a sweet and genuine lady. She will be missed by the neighbours of Woodlawn Road. I saw her last in Somerset about 4 months ago. We chatted a bit and she asked about my son & family. Your Mom was still thankful and positive despite walking with a cane. That is what I admired about her! As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Look to God who will give you the peace. God is the God of all comfort.
