    Oh Donna, what a year you have had! Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family. Our stays in Toronto have been frequent but we so often seem just to miss you and the day of Bill’s passing was one of those. We were glad though that you both were able to
    get to the lunch of our current TGH Lung Family. It has been good to know you. We hope that somehow we will be able to connect with you one day soon. Please know that we are thinking of you and wishing you the Peace that Passes All Understanding and comfort in God’s love and happy memories. Love, Ruth and Don

    Donna and family –
    We are very sorry to hear of the loss of your dear husband Bill and this past year has been a very difficult time for you and your family. It was interesting to read the comment of Irv Armstrong that he mentioned British Mortgage and Trust – I remember those days very well and all the great customers. Your parents Chelsea buns from the bake shop were a big hit every day for our break at the bank.
    Sincere sympathy to your family at this sad time.
