Don, so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. Every single time i visited dad at the lodge your mom would come and say hi to me. She would always say, “I don’t know if you remember me” and i would always reply “Of course I do, Laura”. Your mom was a genuinely lovely lady.
So sorry to hear of Aunt Laura’s passing.I often think of the visits we had while living in Calgary!
My sincere sympathies to Don and Candice and family. Laura was a very special lady and I know you will all miss her dearly.
My sincere sympathy to Don, Candis and their families. I always looked forward
to seeing Aunt Laura. She was a super lady. She will be missed.
