Dear Kevin and all the family,

I am very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I have fond memories of our friendship and the family. It has been many years since we lived at 17 Coram Street and I am sorry that we have lost touch. My prayers are with your mother, God Bless.

Dear Brian, Chrissy, Kevin and Sharon
I was very sadden to learn about passing of your Mother, Joan. She truly was an amazingly kind and generous woman. CLC was such an important influence in our lives and I am so grateful that she cared enough to guide a bunch of teen age kids through our formative years. Because of her, I know that I am a much better person. Remembering all the fun memories and wonderful times we spent together at CLC or your home fills me with joy. I will always cherish the memories fond I have of “Mum”
With warm thoughts and care,
Dave Cormier
