    This incident is not only hdouies, but vociferously condemnable..I simply fail to understand, why do these brainless terrorists attack in vain when they meet failure miserably, because they cannot kill the spirit of this country. I am not only shocked but very very angry at what they have been doing to this country.

    Our sympathy to you with the passing of your dear Mom. Our Mom was her hospital roommate for awhile in Alliston. We did get to chat with some of you during that time.

    Deepest sympathy to all the family, I will miss Margaret, so can only imagine how much all of you will miss her. But perhaps you can find some comfort in the knowledge that she is now with her beloved husband once more. With loving prayers. Pam & the McFarlane family.

    Dear John/Mike/Nina/Albert/Terry

    Your mother will be remembered as a wonderful lady. a wonderful mother and a wonderful friend. I will be endeared forever as she always referred to me as Parkes – not sure if she knew my first name.
    Growing up and spending so much time in her home I was so impressed that she never judged you on faith or income but on respect for others.
    She loved her husband Vic, her family and somehow found some extra love for all those visiting her home.

    your mother and my friend will be missed and never forgotten.

    Love

    The Parkes family
