Condolence from Kim Bolger on September 25th, 2019 8:43 AM

Dear Janet: I was saddened to hear about the passing of your Mom. She and your Dad were such lovely people. I used to love her visits whenever I came back to Kincardine. Jean was charming with a great sense of humour, the consummate hostess. She was a pillar of the community and especially the church. It has been five years since I lost my Mom and two years for Dad and while I believe time heals all sadness, it will still be difficult so may the cherished memories, family and friends help you through this difficult time. Blessings, Kim Bolger ( Caiger-Watson.)
