Very sorry to read of your mother's passing. Will never forget all the great times we all had while growing up on Cameron Street and the many times my parents took all the neighborhood kids to our cabin. Our parents were lucky to live in a nice neighborhood where everyone got along and all the kids played together alot - it just doesn't happen now a days. Can't make it to the viewing tonite but please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you both. If we were in town, we'd come to the service. May she rest in peace and may your fond memories give you comfort.
Love,
Richard and Lee Yanda
Bob, Bill, Patty, and families,
I want to send my condolences to you over the loss of your Mom. I will always remember her as bright little red headed lady who worked with my Dad a Loblaws. She was a hoot and a neat, neat lady. She is no longer with us, but probably watching down at us and waiting for the day we join her so she can be there to give us all an earfull. God bless.

I have heard so many stories of you from your granddaughter, Stacey, who I am lucky to be a friend of. Everyone at work knew when she was on the phone with you because she would talk real loud so you would hear every word she said and we would all get a chuckle. I also remember the gift boxes she would send to you at Easter and other holidays; taking days to pick out just the right things to brighten your day. She loved you more than anything; talked of you so often; and she will miss you dearly. I am very sorry for her loss, but you will be Heaven's gain :-). Rest in Peace Grandma Acker.
