Condolences

  • This note is for Muriel. I am so sorry about your Mother's passing. I so enjoyed our visits when I was delivering the bulletins each week from St. Pauls to our people at Albany. Your Mom was a real joy and often asked me about "the Freer farm" --wondering if it was sold or not. She probably was a great friend to Evelyn Freer. I'm sure you have wonderful memories of her and Nothing or No One can ever take them away from you---Memories are forever. My warmest sympathy to you and I will certainly miss her very much! Marg Lennan.

    - Rev. Dr. Catherine Collins-Barker, Windsor, Ontario

  • I am sorry to hear of Clara's death. My memories of Clara were part of the Oil City church community. She was always smiling and helping others who needed it most. She lived her life and well with many who loved her. A true blessing.

    - Maria Moore, formerly Oil Springs

  • Sincere condolences to the family of Clara White. I saw her at all the Mother and Daughter suppers of the Ucw of oil City United Church when I went with my daughter Karen Young over a number of years.She will be missed. Dolores Trevail Dolores Trevail
