I am so sorry for your loss. I’ve met your Mom a few times and was so happy to have done so. She was a delight to engage in conversation. Always smiled and happy to share. God bless you all.

I PLAYED BINGO WITH YOUR MOM AT FERN BRAE VERY FULL OF LIFE SHE WAS THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AT THIS TIME
So sorry to hear about your Mom’s passing. She was DEFINITELY one of a kind!! From being taken under her wing back in the 1970″s ( she had THE best ideas for redecorating & re purposing!! and how to be frugal about it too !! LOL) in Calgary when her & Doug would buy and upgrade and resell homes aka ” flipping”.
When they moved to Casa Loma to “retire” ha ha ha ha..
Their trips to Reno & slot machine tournaments your Mom loved to play! Her stories about her escapades and stories afterwards kept us in stitches!!
I’m sure she is in heaven having a wonderful time playing the slots & winning BIG time!!
((( Hugs )))
