March 2, 2026 at 2:31 pmJohn, I’m so sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. I know you were very close to her and you always talked about her with a heart full of love. It’s not easy to say goodbye to someone with whom you shared so many good times with, but hold fast to your memories of your mom. Prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

March 2, 2026 at 8:58 pmCondolences to the family! Especially to Oliver, Sherry, Anne Marie, and John.
I think back to when I stayed at your house Marilyn, I was there when you broke your leg.
I remember going berry picking ….. shopping in Clarenville several times.
…. Going out for special meals, just plain relaxing etc.
When you came to St. John’s to visit John we’d always go to see a movie!
You loved movies! Shopping and eating …. was something that we did….
We had fun together!
