Mrs. Bone was a dear friend of my grandmother, Mrs. Muriel Fowle and I remember meeting Mrs. Bone on a few occasions and her "boyfriend", Mr McCutcheon. He was often the driver for the ladies when they went out, but Mrs. Bone had a strict rule that she had to be in his vehicle before he picked up any of the other ladies. My grandmother was always quite flattered by this rule.

My sincere condolences to all your family for your loss.
