My condolences. Velma was a great neighbour to my mom in Norwood Village. She and my mom had a code worked out so she would know my mom was okay without having to check on her every day. When mom went into the nursing home in Ailsa Craig, Ron and Velma would visit mom. Such good people. Hold onto all the great memories!!!
