Dear Friends:
We are so very saddened to hear of your Mother’s passing.
I (Sheila) can still picture her sitting at our kitchen table, at the ritual morning neighbourhood coffee break.
Small but mighty, She was the epitome of “Good Things Come In Small Packages”.
May your cherished fond memories, last you a lifetime.
With our sincerest sympathy.
