Farwell to a lovely lady who touched my heart in such a special way. We walked through her yard on a warm summer days as she told of all her flowers and especially her roses. Although breif, knowing her was such a delight. I will miss her stories. There is one more angel looking over us. To her family, Bill, Michele, Allan, my condolences, and love as you cherish the memories of such a special lady. - Posted by: Eileen Page () on: Jan 10, 2015

Dear Bill and family, Our deepest sympathies go out to you at this difficult time. For ten lovely years we enjoyed the friendship of you and Shirley as next door neighbours. Our love of gardening and monarchs gave us an immediate bond. We enjoyed the bounty of the raspberry patch and Shirley's perennials together. We would watch the butterfly chrysalis and wonder at the metamorphosis of the striped caterpillar we had seen on the leaves to this amazing insect of flight. Now... Shirley is no longer in pain, she is released of the daily weight of just using her failing legs and now like the monarch she is free. Our prayers of consolation go out to you. As we are away we cannot extend our sympathies personally but we will do that when we return. May God's love and His word in Psalm 23 be a comfort. - Posted by: Dave Fehr and Lori (Neighbours on McIvor) on: Jan 10, 2015
