Carolyn, reading the details of your Moms life I can see where your compassion and care comes from.
Your devotion to her was admirable.
My Mom told me she always enjoyed your Moms visits. She would visit Mrs. Manning then pop over to see my Mom.
I’m thinking of you and your family and I hope you all find comfort in the memories you hold of your Mom.

Dear Carolyn & family, I send my heart-felt condolences to you and all of your family members during this difficult time. Your Mom lived a wonderful life, with a loving husband and many kids, grandchildren, great grandchildren - and friends. A part of that beautiful life was "stolen" from her during her illness, a cruelty we will never understand. Your Mom's dedication to your Dad and the challenges they likely faced being our neighbourhood's Doctor, is admirable to say the least. Rest in peace Mrs. McCullough, you are together again with the love of your life xoxoxo Virg

I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that I am thinking of you.
Audrey was a good friend of mine. We met in High School in Brighton and kept in touch throughout the years. My husband and I moved to Toronto for several years after we were married and we would meet up with Audrey and Bob for a meal.
Audrey and I shared a strong faith in God and, although she will be deeply missed by her family and friends, it’s comforting to know she is now in a place where God can wrap his arms around her and give her peace and hope.
I will always remember Audrey as a kind and loving woman who always had a caring word for everyone and who looked at the world in a positive and uplifting way.
I will miss her.
With much love,
Ruth Ireland
