The memories of your childhood carry you through as you grow older. Some of my favourite memories that I will never forget are Saturday afternoons with my Gramma and Papa. They would always buy McDonalds for lunch on Saturday afternoons and Papa and I would watch The Littlest Hobo afterward. Unfortunately, we lost my Papa too soon but Gramma was sure to build more lasting memories with me in the years to come. I cannot count or recount the memories she has given me but I can recall one of my favourites. Anyone who knew my Gramma‘s house, knew it was a busy one. One day, I caught it on a slower day when it was just her and I. I had taken one of the TV dinner trays and set up shop in the living room with all my McDonald’s Kids Meal toys. My Gramma, being the best ever Gramma that there ever was, passed by my toy shop several times, purchasing the toys I had for sale. She was my best and only customer, my number one fan and the best Gramma I could have ever asked for. Our family will miss her so much but have so much to thank her for. I am who I am because of the person she helped shape me to be. My Gramma “didn’t have to talk about love, she lived it.” Her love and memory will live through all of us who she loved so dearly. Love you forever and always Gramma.

To Margaret Ann and the Cochrane family Your mom was one of the strongest, fierce, independent and giving ladies that I have ever known. Recalling the years growing up in the neighbourhood a long time ago, there are many examples times you can see her love of family, she had a huge heart. There are angels among us, Margaret Ann you are one of those, the dedication and care that you provided so that your mom could stay in her own home goes beyond words and I admire you for the selfness you have shown. A true testament to her! Her work is done, she can now be with Roland and the 2 Bernies and be granted the eternal rest that she so richly deserves. May God bless. Terry French
