She was predeceased by our dad, Harry; 12 brothers and sisters in England and a grandson in infancy. All of whom she loved deeply. It is a bitter sweet passing as she has gone to be with those before her, our Dad whom she lost in 1991, her own dad whom she lost at the tender age of 3 months in England, and her mom to whom she lost and only to have seen her one more time after 1945 as she visited her here in Canada and returned to England. We miss her already and to quote her one more time "Don't take life to serious, laugh often, love deeply, forget quickly and lighten up". To our forever mom we love you loads xoxox.
