Ken Hebden I wish to offer my sincere condolence on Reta’s passing. I went to high school with Reta and her 3 older sisters in Guelph. Reta was one of the nurses on the floor when I had an operation in 1970 and she was in training. I hope all the family can be thankful for knowing a person like Reta and I will remember her in my prayers.

Janet Magdanz My dear sister Reta was certainly passionate. Recently I had some craft sales in Victoria. She was so amazing providing advice and props to make my display so beautiful. I am so thankful for the time we shared.
So sorry to find out that Reta died almost 4 years ago. It is ages since we heard anything about the Flanagan family in Canada.
We often think of you, and would like to hear from you if possible. We so enjoyed our holiday in Canada, and you made us so welcome when we stayed with you.
Love from Sandra and Neville and family
