Sam - we are so very sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones at this sad time.
Marilyn, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. Your mom and dad made us feel like family while we were stationed in C.F.B. London. She welcomed us with open arms and we so enjoyed visiting the homestead with you. Again our deepest sympathy. Marguerite and Edward Mahoney.
Sorry Gordon & family sorry we can not come to be with you and family at this but we know she is a greater place . God Bless you all. Joe&Marilyn Dewan Stratford On.
Dear Uncle Gord, David, Marilyn and families, So sorry to hear of Bernice's passing. So difficult to lose a loved one at anytime, but she will be remembered as she always remembered us. She sent a cheery Christmas card to Steve and I each year and always wished us well and sent prayers our way. She will be missed whenever the Shoebottoms gather. I'm sorry that Steve and I will not be able to come into London for her funeral, but we will be thinking of you all. With sincere sympathy, Michele and Shoey
(Don't know id the unfinished message I just sent by mistake went thru! I am starting again... Please post this message.) Bernice was a founding member of The Crochet Club of London back in 2002. She used to make beautiful blankets for our local charity, which so far has given away over 7,000 blankets to people in need in our community. I used to drop off yarn for Bernice, and pick up her finished blankets until she was no longer able to crochet. I always looked forward to visiting with her and Gord at their Leroy home. My sincerest condolences to the family from her friends at The Crochet Club of London.
We are all very sorry to hear of your loss and will always remember Bernice's wonderful smile. We are sorry that we won't be able to make it to the funeral but you will be in our thoughts. Peter & Phyllis Shannon & Jamie Pat & Peg
Marilyn, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. God bless you all.
We were very sorry to hear of your loss and we send our condolences to the whole family at this time. May happy memories sustain you all in the days to come.
