Our sincerest condolences to the family members. Our sons John and Todd used to deliver the Sarnia Observer to the Apartment Building where she lived and she always let them in every day to deliver in her building. She was a lovely lady of good Moore Township stock. She will be missed by everyone that knew her>
Dear Oliver and Janet, So sorry to hear about the loss of your mother Oliver. Despite her age you likely felt that she’d be with you forever. We felt that way about Jack’s mother at 98. The wonderful memories will be many. Thinking of you all.
