Posted on: Tuesday, February 10, 2015We were so sorry to read of Margarete’s passing, it seems like only yesterday we said our goodbye’s when she was leaving our condo building to start a new life in Barrie. She was such a lady. always loved to talk with us and was to excited about being with her family. One special memory was meeting her in Vanderwees greenhouses she was helping you choose plants, she was standing talking with us surrounded by the beautiful flowers.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
