I am so very sad to learn today that Ila had passed. Thinking of you. I will always be thankful for the unfaltering friendship your mom showed Father, especially in his final few months. Grateful also, for her warm hospitality when I traveled to NB. She was there with tea and cookies waiting every night when I returned from visiting hours at the hospital. Spending time with her just running simple errands were fun outings, just because of her sweet personality. Your mom was the epitome of sweetness, kindness, and a lady always. I will miss my chats with her, but am happy to have known her, and altho today I am very sad; I will think of her always with a smile. Thank you for sharing her with us.
