My sincere condolences to Mabel’s family.
I have many fond memories of Mabel over the years I knew her and Ross at Craigweil. She was so kind and loving to my late wife Donna and myself. She will be missed.
It was with great sadness that l learned about the passing of Mable At 106 years of age she lived a a life filled with strength,wisdom and grace touching the hearts of many along the way. I will always cherish the time spent with Mable listening to her wonderful stories and learning from the experiences she so generously shared. One memory that remains with me and close to my heart was supporting Mable through the loss of her beloved son Ross Despite the profound sadness she carried, Mable demonstrated incredible resilience and courage. It was a honor to be there for her at such a difficult time and to witness the deep love she had for her family. It was a great honor to be one of Mable’s care givers and to spent such quality time with her I will for the remainder of my life carry very fond memories and love for Mable. May you rest in peace
My Sincere sympathy to Mabel’s Family, I always enjoyed my visits with Mabel when she brought Ross into bowl at Lucan Bowling Lanes, Thinking of you

Dear Sheryl and Arlene,
We were sadden to hear of Mabel’s passing.
I have many fond memories of late nights around both the tables at the old farm in McGillivray and our house in Kitchener with our parents staying up till the wee hours of the morning playing cards and telling stories.
The good time our parents shared will no doubt resume now that all four are together again.
Cherish your memories, keep them close until you met again.
David and Bonnie Hotson
We had many lovely conversations when I worked at Craigweil. Her love for her family was unwavering, she was very proud and spoke very fondly of them.
She will be very missed, my condolences to the family.
To Mabel’s Family we are so sorry for your loss. Mabel was a wonderful person and we had the pleasure of seeing her different times. Mabel,s grandmother was a great aunt to my husband Bruce. Bruce’s Dad & MOm Bob & Evelyn Harmer always enjoyed their visits with your Mom & Dad.
Our sincere condolences to Mabel’s family. We only knew her as an acquaintance but adored her gentle nature and warm smile.
Arlene and family:
Just heard of your mother’s passing and wish to send our sympathies. It sounds like she was a special person and you’ll surely find a void without her.
May your memories help you through this difficult time.
Lots of Love

Condolences to the McEwen family. I will miss seeing Mabel when I’m at Craigwiel to visit Dad (Jim Walsh). We always exchanged a hello when I was at the nurse station sign out book or passing in the hall. I still remember the crokinole games, kick the shoe plus other games and a lot of wonderful food at the family reunions.
