Dear Carl, Lynn, Bob and Brenda, Thinking of you at this sad time. Praying the gift God's peace for you. From an old neighbour and babysitter, Joan
Our deepest sympathy to you all. Mrs.Watson will always be an important part of our house as she gave Holly her Baby Shawn... a most treasured gift that has been a constant. What though the radiance which was once so bright Be not forever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower; Grief not, rather find, Strength in what remains behind, In the primal sympathy Which having been must ever be, In the soothing thoughts that spring Out of Human suffering, In the faith that looks through death In years that bring philophic mind.
It is with great sadness that we learned hours ago of Audrey's passing away. Although we only seemed to see her once at year at the Mitchell picnics, she was a joy to be around - caring, helpful, steadfast - a great lady who will be sorely missed I am sure. I have known Audrey all my life (45 years), and it reminds me of what my Grandmother once said to me - "God hides things by putting them near us." I am sure that this very day she is in heaven in God's hands. Heartfelt condolences to Carl and the family from ours in Hamilton...
Thinking of you and your family during this time of sadness. From everything Brenda has told me Audrey will be greatly missed.
