Sincere sympathy to the family in the passing of their Mom and Grandma Beth.  She was a great neighbour and friend of my parents Henry and Ruby Matthews at the Nile.  Many days Beth, Mother, Helen, Dorothy and myself picked wild raspberries in the bush for the day and then they made jam for the winter.  Great memories of Beth and her family. Thinking of you all at this sad time.

Verna and Roy - So sorry to learn of the passade of Verna's mom.  She was a fine lady and will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.

What a wonderful grandmother she was.  She will always have a special place in my heart.  She was always so happy to see her great great grandbabies, (along with other family members of course), come in for a visit at Maitland Manor.  The little ones just perked her right up!  Will miss her dearly!
