I am so sorry to hear about Macis's passing. I always remember her being around London Citadel while I was growing up. I have a lot of great memories of Mavis. God Bless Your Family at this time and I pray that God will give you the strength that you need.
Please accept our Sympathy , Ruth Ann, Ray, Kate & Rob on the passing of Mavis. May God be with you and your family at this time.
Lavina and Jon remember vividly the fact that Mavis was always helpfu with setting the flowers at every funeral which was conducted at the Citadel. She will certainly be missed.
Please except our sympathy on the passing of Mavis, I remember her as a very caring, special lady who greeted everyone she knew and didn't know. I grew up with Mavis always a part of London Citadel and will miss her greatly. She was and is a very special lady and God has another jewel in Heaven, YOu will never be forgotten til we meet again
Dear Ruth Ann, Neil called me from Toronto to ask if it was true that Mavis had passed away. We had not heard but reading the LFP yesterday morning sadly confirmed that indeed Nana Mavis had died. Mavis was a surrogate grandma to both Jane and Neil and the infinite kindness and love she showered on them will always be a special memory for our family. She was special and will be missed by so many. There will be a vacant seat at the Citadel but the lasting memories of a lady who worked tirelessly and unselfishly for the benefit of others is a memory that you and your family may cherish. Neil hopes to attend this afternoon but whether or not he can be released from his duties in the trial in which he is involved is conjectural. Please accept our condolances. bram
