    Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Millie- Wife, Mom and Grandmother.

    We have so many lasting fond memories, as a neighbour in Nobleton and of travelling together on the extensive snowmobile trails throughout King, Halliburton, Muskoka and Parry Sound.
    Our travel ventures together into the Caribbean and Mexico have always been our most favourite trips and the most memorable times together.

    Thank you with sharing Millie with us. Best wishes.

    Very sincerely,

    Don & Gail

    Dear Jim & Family, our sincere sympathies on the passing of a great lady of wonderful character. Millie is a cousin of my (now deceased) father, Earl Robinson and they were friends as well as cousins growing up in Carman, Manitoba. We enjoyed a couple of lovely visits at Jim and Millie’s home on the Lake, where we met Ian and Vickie and Millie and I had a few pleasant telephone visits. She was always delighted to hear news of family and I could hear the smile in her voice as she would chuckle during our conversations. May you all be comforted by your beautiful memories and God’s blessings of Peace. Heather (Robinson) & Dwight Fryer
