Dan, Know you are in my prayers. Mom is at peace and pain free. Her smile and her letting me help in her and Bob's butcher shop will always be one of my favourite memories from Thornbury as well as watching the Ice shack float away in the lake during the spring thaw. It's the little things that are the best memories. Pam
