To The Macdonald Family:
We are so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She was such a wonderful person and a special Aunt. We enjoyed our visits with her out on the island more than once and always looked forward to hearing from her at Christmas. She was such a classy lady and dressed so beautifully.
Our thoughts are with all of you.

Our thoughts and best wishes are with the Macdonald family at this time. My Aunt Lucille was always a special Aunt to us and we always enjoyed her visits. Her Christmas cards kept us up with what was going on in her family and you could tell by the messages how proud she was of all of you.
Take care and keep in touch.
Your cousin, Jim
For Flora and all of your family,
My love and thoughts are with you at this time.
May you receive strength at this time, knowing what a loving caring person Lucille was. How much she gave to others, with her time and her love.
She will be missed by all of you, her family, and all of the people that knew her through her volunteer work with her Church, Silver Threads and the support she gave to her many friends. Her sense of humour was so cute and that pretty smile encouraged others to forget their toubles.
She will be sadly missed. She was one Classy Lady.
Love to you all,
Teresa Butler
