Penny, Robin and family. So sorry for the loss of your mother. She was such a great landlord to me back in the day. She was full of life, as you all are too.

Robin, Penny and family, Sorry to hear the passing of your mom. Always a good time at your home in Monkton and the kindness she always showed. Thinking of you all at this time.
To all of you dear ones, my heart goes out to you with compassion . Our families tangled together from the start, with deep friendships between our dads. I was but a wee one when your parents got married. I remember romping on your farm, the chuckle and giggle of your mom, and her warm, smiling blue eyes. A hard working woman who raised good humans with big heart….. all with the same happy eyes. May she rest easy knowing how much she was loved, and find reunion with those she lost! A big love to you all…💜💜💜💜💜💜
