My Deepest Condolences to Dave, Lisa & Steven & Family on the passing of your Mom. I was very sad upon hearing the news, having lived beside each other for 50 years, we had many conversations over the hedge in the back yard. My thoughts are with you All!
So sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Thinking of you all, Dave, Steven and Lisa during this difficult time. May happy memories of your mom fill your hearts and heal you.
Sincerely Graham & Erika
I was so saddened my schoolmate and maid of honor at our wedding passed away. The years separated us when we moved to Toronto but we kept touch to see how we were. She was a kind gentle friend.
