Dear Joyce and Bev, I was saddened to hear of the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful neighbor to us growing up, and especially to Mom and Dad in their later years. I have fond memories of going next door to sell cards, candy, or cookies for MLS fund raisers way back when(60's), and helping out shoveling snow. Even though she was afflicted with that terrible disease, I'm sure she always remembered who you were, and especially her Saviour. Know that she is at peace now and has all her memories back. My condolences to you all.
