Dear Judy and Ron What a beautiful and amazing woman your mother was. I looked forward to seeing her every Monday morning when she would volunteer at Baycrest. Always impeccably dressed with an ornament in her hair and a smile on her face. Baycrest was blessed to have her and I was blessed to know her. She is truly missed. My condolences to your family. May her memory be a blessing.

Dear Judy and Ron; so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was just about the last of an extraordinary generation of survivors who came to Canada to give their children a better life, and that's what we enjoyed thanks to them. She was one tough broad.
