Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

  • August 2016 - I've just come across Mrs. Calder's Obit. Winnie was my mother's close friend in Starratt. I fondly remember, as a young child, accompanying my mother, Gwen, to Winnie's for afternoon tea. I recall always feeling comfortable around her. I value my fond memories of Mrs. Calder and her family. Rest in peace Dear Lady.
