On behalf of our mother, Annie Frances (Dalrymple) Lind, Aunt Rite’s sister-in-law, we would like to express our sincere condolences on the event of her passing. She was a wonderful, positive spirit on each of the several occasions we met, including family weddings and funerals. She and my mother, as fellow educators, always had lots in common to share with one another. Mom is now 92 and resides in a seniors’ group home in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. May your family be blessed in the knowledge that Aunt Rite lives on in all of our hearts. Sincerely, the Carter and Lind families (Karen and Margaret).
I’m so sorry for your loss. You’re all in my thoughts and prayers.
We both knew Eva through church, and I knew her well through UCW. She was a very classy lady; a born teacher and a genuine friend. She will be missed.
As chair of the Outreach committee and on behalf of Corunna United Church I would like to extend condolences to Eva’s family on her recent passing. Your Mother was a dedicated member of our church and the UCW. She was always pleasant and had a lovely smile or greeting. She was a pleasure to visit while residing at Fiddicks Retirement and Nursing Home. She always welcomed a visit. Isabel Smith

To the family of Eva, I met Eva years ago when I moved to Corunna and joined Corunna United Church.
What a treasure. Eva was not only a special Lady, she was knowledgeable on many subjects. Always a smile and kind words that was Eva.
