I am sorry that I could not make the service, but you're in my prayers. I will always remember visiting your mom and dad in Wembley, and how he loved to tease her. She always made sure to have tea and cookies for us. She was one of a kind, and she will be missed. Send my best to Ashley and Jason as well. Take care of yourself.

Oh, what a good time we had so many years ago living next to Len and Sadie. Now is the time to pull out all those memories from over the years. You had your Mom for a long time, Maureen. May you now find comfort in happier times. Thinking of each of you now as you continue to journey. Hugs, Marilyn
