    Dear Cecil,

    I’ve known you and Leona for many years. You always seemed inseparable . She was a lady of great courage and seemed to cope with challenges in good humour.. I will be among the many who will miss her.

    Please accept my sincere condolences in the death of your dear wife and mother… Don and Chris ; May I share this poem with you….
    Original Author: Unknown

    You’ll never forget your mother’s face,
    the sound of her voice, the gentleness of her touch…
    they let you know you were loved.

    You’ll never forget the stories she told,
    the traditions she handed down…
    they let you know who you are.

    You’ll never forget the lessons she taught,
    the things she stood for…
    they are her gift and your legacy.
    You’ll never forget, and you’ll always know
    that you honor her every day in how you live and who you are.

    With sincere sympathy.. Arlene Robertson
