Dearest Rosemary
I have many fond memories full of laughter when Mom & Dad lived on Princess Street in Clinton.
I will let Jack & Ruth know the very sad news of Don’s passing. Dad especially will be “gutted”. Both he and Mom loved and respected you both. You brought some of that “oer home” to us all. Such a beautiful and loving couple with upstanding morals and strong beliefs. I don’t know if Mom ever fully forgave Don for giving the Clinton News Record her age when she failed miserably during a driving lesson and ended up crashing into a house. LOL…..Just doing my duty ma’am. She never did learn to drive. Rosemary…..I wish you and your family strength during this most difficult time. Hold onto your cherished memories…..Marion (Stevely) McQuaid
