I have many fond childhood memories trouting with Mrs. Parrott on the Salmonier Line with my parents Bill and Maud Carter who were co workers at the Newfoundland School for the Deaf. Many condolences to the family Eric Carter

Valerie,
Sending my thoughts & prayers to you & your family at the passing of your mom. I remember well her giving spirit – especially hosting meals when we met together for Staff meals at her home. I still have her recipe for Cauliflower Casserole in my recipe book. May God surround you with his love through his people.

Valerie and family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you especially tomorrow.
God be with you all. Take care.

Valerie
Sincere Sympathy on the passing of your mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Take Care and God Bless.

Ellie brought so many happy moments in my life and left with a treasure trove of memories. I
will never forget her. I am praying for the whole family in this difficult time. May her soul rest in peace.
