Helen & family,
Sincere sympathy on the loss of your mother. So many memories of her chauffeuring us all over town, to the movies and to work at Hamilton Hospital in her trusty station wagon!! I even remember her picking me up side of the road and taking me home when I had fallen off my bike!! Always a smile on her face. Thoughts and prayers with the entire family .

I was very honored to of met you, for only the one time, at your 92nd birthday party. Where you were surrounded by family and friends. It was a such a nice gathering. Hearing found stories of you and your family. As in the days to follow many more will be shared I'm sure. May you rest in peace now, and be with your loved ones who have passed on before you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always and extend to others who also grieve your passing.
