Deepest sympathy. I had many fond memories of Lillian. Don and Lillian were one of my parents
dearest friends (the late Phyllis and Bill Burbidge) She was always a kind and welcoming person.
I remember as a young child running up the lane way to see my Auntie Lil.

I have some great memories of your your Mom from our teenage years- her patience as she sat on the couch listening to our girl band practice, her laughs and giggles as we experienced life up at the cottage and your home always being open for us.
I am sorry for your loss and she will be kept forever in our hearts and memories. Marion
