Sad to hear of her passing. We will be unable to attend the service. Have fond memories of working with her at Seaforth Hospital and Hospital get togethers after her retirement. Also since we still live on the 8th of Morris , where she was raised, a kind of connection. She grew up with my Mom Naomi Pryce (Martin) and siblings Fred and Edna. Hank our sympathies to you and your family.

Words can not describe how much I will miss you, mom... Your compassion, your selflessness, and your willingness to listen to all my problems.
