    Dear Audrey, Trevor, Valerie, Barbara and Colin, I was so sorry to hear that your Mom had passed away. I will always remember her beautiful smile. My mother loved all of you, and so enjoyed having you next door to us. I have so many fond memories of both your parents, and playing on Hollenbeck St. How I wish I could bring all those times back again. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers, and I know my Mom and my sister will be there to welcome her in heaven. Love, Dorothy Helfer (Arcarese)

    Sophie and I worked together at Kodak. She was the sweetest person! I am so sorry for your loss. She loved her family so much and talked about them all the time. Janet Ouimet

    Audrey, Trevor, Valerie, Barbara and Colin and your families, So sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. So many memories of us growing up on Marwood. One of my favorite stories was when our dog, Peppy, you remember what a hound he was. When he stole a roast off your grill and your mom said not a word about it. We did not find out until years later. Hope some memories help during this difficult time. The Osborn’s, Jean, Barb, Bev and Jim

    I shall miss my dear sister-in-law Sophie and our little telephone chats about family, friends and memories of Belfast. My thoughts and prayers are with the family circle at this time of grief. Sophie has gone home to be where she wanted to be, "Safe in the arms of Jesus." Blessings and much love to all. Aunt Evelyn xxxxx
