    Dear Andrea, Tyler, Alyson, Keith, and Steve

    When I saw your mom and grandmother at GPH not so long ago, she was cheery and friendly as ever. Whenever I saw your parents, we always reminisced about your old neighbourhood, when our kids were little. You are remembered. Please accept our condolences on the occasion of your mom’s and grandmother’s departure. Her optimism and friendly spirit will stay with us.

    Claude and Elaine

    Andrea and Steven,
    I am deeply saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. Her positive and caring spirit drew people to her. I always loved running into your mom at the café where we enjoyed talking skating (past and present) and her favourite, her love for her family. I once told my husband that I wanted to be “just like Rosita when I got older”! She was a pretty cool, tech savvy grandma. Hope you find comfort in knowing she touched so many lives – mine included.
    Leanne (Smith) Abram
