Mrs. German was an amazing person, someone I have known for my whole life. I remember playing in her basement and dancing to the Beatles. She made everyone feel welcome in her home. Mrs. German was a wonderful neighbour and friend from Laurentian Drive North and she will not be forgotten. I would like to express my sincere condolences to all of the German Family on the loss of their mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. My thought and prayers are with you.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I remember Mrs. German very well as I grew up on Laurentian Drive N and have many happy memories of playing with the neighbourhood kids and talking to their parents. I recall that Mrs. German was always very friendly and she made the BEST ever peanut butter cookies, and was always very happy to share them with me! When I think about knocking on her door in search of PB cookies, I smile, and will remember, with fond memories, our special neighbour across the road. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Tami Ewart Wyatt
