Diane – I was very sad to see the notice about your mother.. The picture was perfect. I have great memories of her and how sweet she was to noisy teenage girls. It has been a long time since we have seen each other but I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. Condolences to you and all of your family.
Margery will be terribly missed. She was loved by all and she will be cherished in memories forever. Our condolences.
Shaun, Amber and family
Diane, Pam and Philip,
My deepest condolences. It was great to see her at the family reunion in Coaldale two summers ago. I still remember fondly all the Christmases when ever one would get together. Seems so long ago.
All the best.
