So sorry to read about Mrs. Sparkes’ passing. She was such a great neighbour to mom , Hilda Starkes and to us all. I’m in possession of her recipe for Date squares and use it regularly. When passing by Perkins St. I always think on her. Jackie you know she always spoke about you with so much love and I know you have wonderful memories of her. Condolences to all May she now rest in peace.
