Peter & Family......We are so sorry to hear of Margaret's passing. We were your side neighbours when you lived on Robinson Lane and we lived on Robinson Court. You and Margaret had us out for dinner shortly after you moved into Riverbend. You were the best neighbours anyone could have had and we missed you both after you moved away. Margaret was a lovely lady......I can still see her in the yard with her pets and always had a smile or kind word......again our most sincere condolences......Margaret will be missed.

Peter,Marc and Stephen We are overcome with grief yet happiness that Maggy is finished with her pain and anxiety. You will have wonderful memories of your life together as the pain passes. Maggy and I were joined at the hip from 1 to 24 years old.There was never a summer that we did not spend at least 4 weeks together! Our summer adventures first involved playing in the sand, swimming,then biking,constructing tents with blankets in the Anderson backyard,visiting the third muskateer,cousin Bob, where we played in the barn,herded the cows,ran away from the bull,rode the horses and drove the tractor. As Maggy and I enterred our teen age years,we discovered BOYS. Maggy met the neatest guy in Orllia.....yes, Peter! We could hear his red sports car a mile away as he drove to 56 O'Brien St to see what we were doing that day. This began years of fun and love between Maggy and Pete! Barry,Cousin Bob and I,Jan, wish our adventures could have continued into retirement and that careers had not led us all in different directions for a few years. We will miss Maggy so much. Her bravery in the last two years can be surpassed by none.We love you and will always have you in our hearts! Peter, we will always be here for you.You have been a saint!
