Scott, Sandra and families. Please accept my deepest sympathies for the death of your remarkable Mother. To know her was to love her.
She was a woman who aged with such grace and dignity. Our Dad, David, loved her dearly, and although, we didn’t see her often, she always remembered us so kindly. The last of a generation. She will be missed.
Much love – Janie (Bevevino) Campbell
