To Tammy,Deb and Karen -and your families: I'm SO pleased you were able to contact me, Tammy,even though it was very belated. Needless to say I am so very sorry about the passing of your dear Mom, but she is now at peace. I visited her periodically when passing "Cobourg" over the years ,and on at least 2 or 3 occasions brought Brenda, one of our other cousins, with me. Please do let me know when you have a "Celebration of her life" as I would very much like to be present. God Bless you all , and you will hear from me soon. I am making a donation to the Hospital in her memory. Love, Cousin Elizabeth Johnston
