My sincere sympathy to JoAnn and Phillip and all of your family on your loss of a lovely person. She was a good friend to me and gave me a start on another phase of my life. She was vibrant, uncompromising and loyal and I am sure you will miss her terribly. I would so like to be able to share in the celebration of Wimmy’s life as I am sure there will be much to reflect upon. She has had a long and interesting life which will leave you with many happy memories.

To Wimmy’s family: so sorry to learn of Wimmy’s passing. I met her at the Caledon Seniors Centre bridge sessions some time back. I introduced her to the Kleinburg bridge group. In turn she introduced me to the Blackhorse Players productions. I always enjoyed the company of this intelligent attractive lady, and was duly impressed that she took painting lessons, to add to her other accomplishments. May you ever enjoy the memories of her long productive life. Sincere condolences to you all. Bea Parkes
