So many sweet memories of Lenore (mum). Lenore was so much fun to be around and her infectious smile lite up a room. Pam, you're family welcomed me into your home and helped me on my way when I first arrived in Canada. I couldn't have done it without them. Love you. Heather, Wayne, Jeremy & Gylaine.
