Uncle Bob, cousin Brandy and family,
John and I are very saddened to hear about the passing of your loved one, Cecelia. I can clearly remember her from when my brother Alfred and I visited Yonges Island as kids. She roughhoused with us like an older sister might. We always enjoyed visiting her.
We send our love in these sad times today.
