Dear Kathy, I was very saddened to hear of your mother's passing. Even though she moved away she still kept in touch every Christmas, and I looked forward to hearing what she was doing when she sent her annual card. She always kept us up to date on all the family too. Growing up I remember calling on you in the mornings and your dad driving us to school, and your mom was always there so sweet and friendly. I remember she made good grilled cheese sandwiches too! Even when I grew up and was married with my own children, if I was at my parents she would always come out and talk to me and she really took an interest in my kids too. She was a truly kind "lady" and I know you will miss her very much. I feel blessed to have grown up beside your parents, they were wonderful people, and I will always remember them with fondness and respect. Sincerely, Nancy Hurley (nee Tipper)

Dear Kathy, I just wanted to say how surprised & sorry I was to read of your mother's death. I had recently mailed her a Christmas Card. Betty was a good neighbour and friend, and I have many fond memories of her. I know how she loved her family, and was very proud of you all. I am thinking of you at this difficult time. Sincerely, Jean Tipper - 24 Allwood Street, Brantford

I was so saddened to read about the passing of your Mom. I don't know if she ever spoke to you about me, if not, I will give you a short history. Your Dad hired me at Drinkwater Motors when I was 17 years old and I remained there after many happy years until the passing of Bill Drinkwater. Your Mom and Dad attended our wedding and as a gift to us your Dad filmed the entire day. I will forever be grateful to your parents for that gift. I only met your Mom a few times but your Dad spoke of her often as well as his children. I felt like I knew your family all of those years and when your Dad passed away I wrote to your Mom telling her some of the family stories he shared with us. After that, we shared Christmas cards for years, sharing our yearly adventures (and misadventures.) I looked so forward to those cards because I actually felt like she was a dear friend even though we only met a few times. On the same day that I mentioned to my husband that her card was late this year, I read the announcement of her passing. I was so saddened but at the same time I thought how fortunate she was to live such a long, full life, loved by her family. I will miss our yearly news exchange. My sincere condolences for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing how proud and grateful she was for all of you. Sincerely, Maureen Quist

Rich, Doug and Kathy I was so sorry to read your moms name in the paper today. When I was a child I thought of her as your mom. As I grew older I considered her my friend. Those old home movies will now be extra, extra special. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. Rosemary
