I want to send prayers and condolences to the family of Helen in her passing ! The Maddaford and O’Connor family’s were friends and neighbours in rural Pickering On ,and
I can recall so many fond memories of Frank and Elizabeth who were close friends of my parents Arthur and Margaret . . Also recall skating on a rink near their home on a cold winter day ,followed by a warm hot chocolate in their home !
Sincerely. Denis

I was a student at Our Lady of Peace School in the 1970s and I still remember Mrs. Heenan as the best school secretary ever. She was greatly liked by all the students. And she always put up with my (sometimes) erratic behaviour with kindness. Rest in Peace Mrs. Heenan, and my sincere condolences to her family.
