    Marie and Family,
    Mourning the loss of my dear friend “Hap” who I graduated with in the Class of ’52 at Victoria Hospital. She and Roy were life long friends to myself and Edward. Enjoyed seeing her over the years on my many trips from Ottawa to Lucan to see family and would always have a visit with Hap at the farm or at the Prince George. Just wish I could be with you but unfortunately not possible. Will make a donation to the brain tumour association. Love Margaret Attwell, Smiths Falls (Ottawa)

    Sincere sympathy to all the Cunningham family. Gladys was a wonderful lady and always
    Had a beautiful smile. When we lived on the second, just down the road from Roy and
    Gladys, we enjoyed many card games. In those times, the children were brought to each
    Others home, as we played cards. We had no baby sitters. Enjoy your photos and
    Memories and they will keep your Mother close to you.
