Dear Charles, Glenn and your families. My deepest condolences on the passing of your Mother, Aunt Shirley. She was such an elegant and gracious lady. Whenever my children and I had a chance to visit her in Newfoundland, she always made us feel very special. Every visit included her warmth and hospitality, and of course, a delicious array of treats! Praying for comfort for your all. Love, Karen

My deepest condolences on Shirley’s passing. Charlie and Shirley hold a special place in my heart. When I think of Shirley, I remember her as poised and proper but able to let her hair down on a moments notice. Her sense of humour must be what attracted her to Charlie when they were just kids. It was after Charlie’s first stroke that’s I got to know them and once when saying goodbye at the end of a phone call with him “love you” slipped out of my mouth and he immediately said “love you too” ! I wish I had told Shirley I loved her too! May your memories bring you comfort.
Charlie, Marilyn and Family; so sorry to hear of Shirley’s passing. Love and comfort sent your way at this difficult time.
Condolences to her family
Charlie, Cassandra and Hope: so sorry to hear of your Moms passing. Sending comfort to you and your family during this difficult time. Sincere condolences to you and your family.

To Charles, Glenn and family,
