To Wayne, Robert, Karen
My deepest condolences. Wayne being a lifelong friend I have known his mother since I was small. Both Wayne and I attended Port Albert School, Brookside, Goderich Highschool, University of Guelph(as residence room mates). I had the honour to attend his marriage to his wife Sharon. In all our life events our mothers play a central role. I know that it is with great sadness to see them past. She was a great lady and will be forever a part of your life. My family shares your sorrow but also the memories. Keep strong.
