Hi Heather,
I definitely plan to come. Your mom was a real inspiration to me for aging. She was always cheerful and ready to laugh at a joke or share in one. I always enjoyed our coffee outings and loved her tonic compliment. What a beautiful gentle soul.
Aunt Vi was a wonderful person who always brought optimism and brightness to everything she touched.
I will remember her smile and laughter forever.
We miss her so much already. Vi was a very special soul. Our thoughts are with you.
My deepest condolences. Vi came to stay at Lanark Lifestyles and instantly she made a very big impression on my heart. As did her children. Vi made me smile every day. Watching my own daughter interact with Vi, watching them enjoy activities together will be a memory forever remembered. I rejoice knowing this beautiful woman is renewed in the prescense of Jesus an our Lord. Her smile is brightening heaven each day. Much love always
we will see you on the 14th of March to celebrate the life of your loving, gentle Mom. Until then, God bless.
