I worked with this lovely lady in the late 50's at the Department of Labour, Provincial Government. She came to my wedding in 1961 and I have a film of her outside the Lord Nelson Hotel where the reception was held. She was always such a lady. We lost touch after working there but recognized her picture right away. My condolences to her family. Cathy Morrison (then MacLelland).

Thinking of Lillian, aka "Mrs. Burchell' sparks many childhood memories. During elementary school it was fun to drop by the house on Parmbelle Lane after a Sunday afternoon of floor hockey; to see Lillian on the tennis court at the Waeg; or wave to her at the door while picking up or dropping Mr. Burchell off after a St.F.X. game. Carolyn, Robbie and David I am so sorry for your loss.
