Condolences for the family of “Agnes Gunn”
Our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Nancy. She was a very special woman who was so willing to give of herself. Her warm and kind nature and friendly smile brought such happiness to others. Nancy was a wonderful volunteer for over 15 years and will be greatly missed by all the staff, volunteers and clients of Caledon Meals on Wheels.
As a long time neighbour I’ll miss driving by the house waving to Nancy as she either gardened, walked the dogs or was putting out garbage. Such an active, lovely lady. Sad to think she is gone and I”ll miss her smile and our shared critiques of the Monday night movies.
Unfortunately, we are unable to attend the memorial to personally extend our condolences but to all the family please know that we’re thinking of you and share in your sorrow.

We are truly sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Aunt Nancy and Uncle Alastair were very kind to me when I was a child and I will always remember the wonderful times I spent at their house in the summer. They were instrumental in nurturing my love for dogs and gardening although I seem to remember I ate more raspberries than I picked. Please accept our condolences.
In loving memory of Aunt Nancy, a very dear aunt, great- aunt and great-great-aunt to our family. We enjoyed many holidays together and were so happy that she made her final visit home to Scotland last summer. Our sincere condolences to Alex and Susan, Ian and Michele and their families. With Love Bobby, Helen and family
We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Nancy. I remember when our first son was born, I was sitting on our deck when Nancy appeared from a trail that joins our properties. She had with her a stuffed animal for Jake that he still has today. We always looked forward to our Halloween visit with the boys as well.
Our sincere condolences to Alex and Susan and the rest of the family. Our family was happy to make a donation in honour of her to Meals on Wheels.
Marion, Doug, Jake and Theo

Nancy was a long time neighbour and a very dear, sweet friend. We had many wonderful and fun adventures together, going to Monday Night at the Movies, lunches and other celebrations with always a smile and a laugh to enjoy along the way. I will sorely miss her presence in my life and I will treasure all the warm memories of our times together. Larry and I extend our sincere condolences to all her family. Goodbye my dear friend.
