Death notice for the town of: Maple Ridge, Province: Colombie britanique
So sad. Helen was a warm, caring woman who always took time to talk to everyone and anyone about anything. She always knew everyone’s birthday in the Model Railway Club, baked a cake and gave you a card signed by everyone attending. She will be sorely missed. My deepest condolences to Jim and all the friends who knew her. .
