For Our Mom, We learned the art of living from a truly special mother—talented, intelligent, humorous and kind…We learned from you the value of self-discipline and knowledge and how to pay attention with our hearts and with our minds. We learned from the beginning what it takes to be successful, because you taught us clearly all that’s honest, good and true…and thanks to all your energy, affection and devotion, we know that we received the best of life and love from you. We will miss you Mom.
A private family service will be conducted at the Glendinning Funeral Home, 40 William St. N. Plattsville on Tuesday November 24, 2020. Interment will follow in the Wilmot Centre Cemetery.
