Dear family members,
Memories of Greta are wonderful as we met in her lovely living room and enjoyed her stories as we looked at the books for the Sunday School. Greta was treasurer for many years. My young daughter Erin accompanied me on these visits and we were served tea and learned about Ireland.She shared tales with Joe too about his ancenstral homeland.
I think of her and Bubba, what a pair. I regret not visiting her more often in her last years but I know she was always cheerful and is happy now.
Sincere condolences, Brenda and Erin Elias and Joe McReynolds

We have nothing but fond memories of Greta from the many years she spent as Treasurer of the Caledon East United Church Sunday School. Greta was warm and generous and always lots of fun. She welcomed us into her lovely home many times with grace and warm hospitality. We have missed her presence in our church over these recent years and were very sorry to hear of her passing.
Sincere condolences, Carol and Sandy Stewart

Margo and Wilson: I was very sorry to hear about your Mum. My
memories of the times our families spent together in the 1950’s
are some of my favourites. We loved to visit “Aunt” Greta” and “Uncle” Davey, there was so much love and laughter shared.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand
