    Dear Donna,
    Remember that moms live in a special place in the hearts of their children. That’s why mothers will continue to live even after they pass on. My deepest condolences.

    Please accept our sympathies. The loss of your mother is hard no matter when in life. Gwen was my Vice for many years who taught me the game of curling. The finesse, the politics, the art of the game. I will miss her nod at the call, her smile when I made the shot, her look when I missed the shot and her laugh when the game was over and she got to put the W on the score sheet.

    I will miss her dearly.

    Maryon English
