So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing! She was a wonderful lady and will be missed by all who knew her. She always had great stories and spending time with her meant stories, cards and tea. I loved her bakeapple tarts. I used to take my mother (Edith Lilly) to visit her every time I came back to Newfoundland to visit. May she rest in peace
