I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Estella’s passing. My deepest condolences to you John. May her memory live on.
She was a wonderfully kind lady, and her family was too.
I was fortunate to have met them and know them as friends
My condolences to you John. I have known your family a very long time and as you know, spent time with your mom, dad & brother way back in Orangeville. So happy I reconnected with Estella and it was a joy and honor to celebrate her 106th birthday early this year.
My love always,
