Dear Peter and John-
We have just returned from six weeks on the boat and were so sorry to hear that your mum passed away in June. We used to enjoy bumping into Norah in Sidney or when she was out walking and getting caught up on the “Cooks’ news”. Please accept our sincere condolences.

I was so saddened to hear last night that Norah had passed away. I knew her through the quilt guild and so enjoyed and appreciated her support. It was also always a pleasure to run into Norah in Sidney from time to time. Please accept my condolences on your loss. Norah was always kind and gracious and engaging and she will be missed.
I am very saddened to hear of Norah’s passing. She seemed so happy at our last guild meeting, telling me about her quilt cruise to Hawaii. Norah was a big part of the quilters guild and she will be dearly missed. My condolences and thoughts to Norah’s family. Take care.
