I met Elizabeth (Queen Elizabeth) when she shared a room with my mom at Michael Garron (East General). She was so sweet and had a lovely smile. Queen Elizabeth and my mom Queen Wilhelmina held hands and sang. It will always be a precious memory. R.I.P. sweet Queen Elizabeth ❤🙏
Thank you Marianne 🙏🏻Such a sweet memory we both have
Today August 4, 2022. I was not informed about Bettys’ passing. I typed in her name and just now found out. Betty was all heart and a good friend of my Mothers. I always had fun with Betty and am very sad to hear about her passing. She worked with my Mother a long time ago at the Toronto Public Library and my heart goes out to all that loved her.
Thank you Greg🙏🏻
I was so sorry to hear about Betty’s passing. I remember her warm smile, and gentle manner. We had so many good vacations together with our friend Jan Clark and warm evenings with Isabel eating the best food and cakes that your mom made–especially the stuffed Hungarian peppers! I know that she loved you with all of her heart and that we will all miss her. My best to the whole family
Thank you Bev🙏🏻
