Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • "Aunty Jay" (my Granny's sister) was always so dapper in her dress, which we country kids found very city-sophisticated. And she and "Uncle" Maurice were so generous when we visited them (at the hotel - way back when.) My sisters and I send our sympathy to the family and a hello to Janet (who I think I last saw in Ellie in the '70s!) - Posted by: Caryl Brandt (grand-neice) on: Dec 13, 2013
