I have such great memories of visiting with your Mom and your Dad. She and Mom shared a great friendship and I'm sure that the Clairmont United Church ladies are organizing things up above. I'm away on Friday so am unable to come to the funeral but know that I will be remembering your Mom with fondness. We had some great chats over the years. Thinking of all of you. I know your wonderful memories will help in the time ahead. Laurel (and the Rooney clan of course)
