Dear Barry, Gene, Irene, Lisa, and family, Please accept our sincere condolences at the loss of your beloved mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother. I fondly remember your moms gentle laughter and kindness (letting another kid join the living room gang on Sundays to watch Walt Disney in colour, pouring bowls of sugar for us to eat rhubarb come to mind). Each time I left our home on Day Ave I would look up at your house to see if your mom was on the front step and appreciates her smile and wave. May each memory of your mom feel like a small patch of sunlight, warming your days, soothing your heart, giving you hope and peace. Hugs, Glenda (Gavin), Rick, and family
