Our sincere condolences to the entire family with the passing away of Donna. We know she loved the Lord and is in a much better place. We were honoured in knowing both Donna and Ray and they always were so supportive of our missionary endeavours both in Ecuador as well as in Canada. Praying for the family as you go through this time of mourning and remembrance. We love you and trust that God will be with you throughout this time. Psalm 18:30-36

To the Thornton Family, my condolences for the loss of your mom.
I remember as a kid coming to visit with the Thornton family with my parent’s Lloyd and Gladys Hall from Lucan.
Keep alive the good memories you shared over the years. It is always hard to lose a parent no matter what age they are.
