Death notice for the town of:London, Province: Ontario
Hello my Canadian Family. I called Daisy last Sat to see how she is doing and no answer. I called again yesterday and was shocked to hear the news of cousin Jack’s passing. I spoke to him several months ago when he happened to be there visiting Daisy when I called. It was good news to know family was with her.
It has taken me back to the house on Empire St and the wonderful memories I have of spending many summers there with Iolene, Cliff and the kids. Linda, Martin Jack, and Terry. I also spent time at Daisy’s and she taught me how to Yodel when Iolene and Cliff and Daisy and Louie would take turns picking me up and taking me back to Port Huron from London. They are the fondest memories of my childhood.
My deep condolences for your loss. He was a special person. I would love to hear from someone, I have tried to stay connected over the years. I tried last week and yesterday to call Wayne and Mary but no answer. Please call me.
Love, Elizabeth (Cousin Liz)
