Death notice for the town of: Maitland, Province: Ontario
Dear Grandma,
You have inspired me to be a strong and independent women in life. When I was 17 years old, you told me to never depend financially on someone in life. You were a woman that changed the world for us women today. You always drove your car and worked hard. You moved mountains for your family that you loved so much.
Thank you for all your lessons in life. I take comfort in knowing that you are now with Rickie in heaven… and your beloved dog Mitzi that you missed so much.❤️
I will continue to drink apple cider vinegar, stretch every day and look out for my weight! I am still working on looking good at the breakfast table every morning!
Grandma, you will be missed! I love you!
Your granddaughter Monique!😘
My condolences to the whole family and thank you for taking such good care of grandma.
