Condolences

Dear Darlene, Elliott and Whitley -- Your mother/grandmother was such a dear, dear lady and a most important person to me when I was a teenager. Her generosity, warmth and marvellous good humor meant so very much to me. The light of God's love shone very brightly in her, as I know it does in each of you. She made the world a much nicer place to live!! With love and prayerful joy to have known her, Robin.
