Condolences on the passing of your Mother, Fay. That was fortunate to have had such good health for such a length of time. I was thinking of Swede recently while fishing up North and all the good times Swede and Fay and the Folks had at the Lake.

Condolences on the passing of your Mother, Fay. She will be missed by all of us at Mckenzie Towne Care Centre. She was such a doll. I fell in love with her the first day I met her. My heart sank when I found out she passed but glad she’s in good hands now. We miss her greatly.
Take care. Jackie de Boer
Sorry to hear of your recent sadness. Fay and Swede were such good friends of Mom and Dad. I have a photo of Fay and Mom showing their knees, hats pulled way down, in style late 30s. I cherish petit – point tiger lilies given to me by your Mother. As a child, always reassuring to know, Fay was just a door away. She really impressed as she impatiently crawled under a stalled train, in a rush to get home one day. Aunts Mary Joinson and Hazel Lamb also send condolences. Leslie
