Tony, Goldie and family,
While we had not had the opportunity to meet your lovely mother, you shared stories of her with us. Her love, commitment to family, and joy of life was evident in every moment shared. You are blessed to have had such an amazing woman as the matriarch of your family. While these moments are difficult, we know her spirit, her love, her humour, and her quick smile will continue to live on with all of you.
