Di, Carolyn, Sheila, David: I'm so very sorry to just now learn about your Mom's passing. Your Mom, Joan was one of the most wonderful, classy, caring, humorous, down to earth lovely person I had the pleasure of knowing. You probably recall I was around 11 years old when I first met your family, and a few years ago when I went home to Fredericton over Christmas and spent one special evening with all of you, your Mom asked me: "Well Pam, what do you think of my lovely family now?" What your Mom was referring to is how so very proud she was of all of you, and the extraordinary joy she was feeling about you and now your own families. In growing up with you as a family friend, I know how heart broken you must feel, and how close you were to your Mom. I can't express enough my heartfelt condolences to you all....And, Di, my very special sympathy to you my dear, and I know you will deeply miss your Mom and your talks together, because your Mom was the ultimate for positive guidance in any situation. Take Care Burt family, your Mom lived a beautiful life. All the best, Pam MacLellan
