In Loving Memory
Aunt GG, you will be so, so missed! I'll never forget a Thanksgiving when I was visiting my dad. You, graciously, made a place at your table for us, and it has always been one of my fondest memories, and one of the reasons why Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday. Even hundreds of miles and many years away, I always felt your love, and I hope you knew how much I loved you. Always.

Gwynn and I go back to high school. Then my husband Ron was Steve's brother Kent's friend. We were in the Mustang club with Gwynn and Steve. She was always so friendly and nice

I am so sorry for the loss of Guyanese. She was always so loving and kind and such an amazing soul to be around. I will cherish the many memories of her and the Joneses together as family.
