Ted, I just saw your notice on facebook. What a shock! I have thought of calling or dropping in on your mom the next time I pass through St. Catharines... and now she's gone. Your mom was such a maverick, with a truly joyful and infectious spirit... a very loving person with a loyal heart and a strong sense of duty. The endless hours she and the other ladies of the legion gave of themselves to work the functions and events on behalf of their community is an inspiration for all of us in volunteerism. She was always welcoming to me, showed me warmth and affection as a child and as an adult, made me feel part of the family when we were together. I still have her baby shower card to my mom with a stork on it and a real feather. Our families went back a long way in friendship. My heart goes out to you and your family... she will be greatly missed.
