Dear Maria, Kathy, Julie, Jo and Lisa

My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you farewell your lovely Mum and Grandma. My childhood memories are full of times in the Swanson household. Your Mum was a very special lady who just made me feel like one of her own. I cherish these memories.
Sending love to you all.
Anne-Marie McDougall and the McDougall family.
