To Helen’s family … fondly remembering your mother today and our many conversations … of course she loved her Bridge games with my mother Elsie and the other Gander ladies even after many of them moved to St. John’s … cherish all your memories … my most sincerest of condolences and kindest of regards to all … Gerard

My love and prayers to Christine, Nathan and family on your sad loss. P eace and comfort to you all at this very difficult time. Xox

Bob, Cathy, Anne, Brenda & Christine and families: When we were all growing up in Gander, our mothers played bridge together. Even after both families moved to St. John’s, they still loved this game and were part of a Gander group even then. Rest assured that your Mom is now sitting at a Bridge table and playing with Mom, Pearl Godden, Elsie McCarthy and anyone they can find as a fourth or maybe five more to make up two tables. Keep your memories and she will live in your hearts forever. Malcolm & Anne Goff Andrews.

Tina and family , so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. We are thinking of you at this difficult time.
