Sincere condolences to David & family.
We have been friends of Dorothy & David since they were married in 59.
I met Dorothy when working at the Children's aid in Brantford & my husband went to the Engineers meetings with David.
Many Christmas's were spent alternating between the Adams home & ours in Kincardine.
Dear Nancy and family,

A kind and loyal friend to my mother Eleanor.😊
I will never forget listening to Phantom of the Opera in 1989 as she drove her son Louis and me home from Western For Christmas break. Obviously a wonderful mother if she raised Louis, Joel and Nancy.
I'm sure choirs of angels are singing her to her sleep now!
Such a special lady

Her presence in your lives will be truly missed. May the love and comfort of family, friends and God sustain you and wrap you in a blessing.
David, Nancy, Joel, Lewis and families.
Our sincerest condolences on the passing of your beloved wife, mother and grandmother. May God give you strength in the coming days and fond memories to treasure in the future. It's been a pleasure knowing your mom. A recent happy memory is seeing how your dad lit up when she visited him in Markdale, and listening to her sing along with the pianist at a concert taking place that afternoon.
Sending my condolences to her husband and family!
