Our very sincere condolences to you all on the passing of your mom. We will remember Aunt Harriet fondly. I remember always looking forward to your family visits to NL when we were children. When they moved to BC we spent a lot of time with them and enjoyed the numerous visits and camping trips. The many trips to Mission Hills for their favorite vine were Roger's favorite. Find comfort in the many beautiful memories you shared with her. Sending love, Roger and Glenda
