Erika Jensen (Binder) was known as a very kind individual to patients and staff alike in the 1950's and 60's when Anne and I knew her. The cross-stitch pieces she produced and used to adore her home, were also very exceptional and she won several prizes with them. Gloria and I send condolences to Erika's children and grandchildren and will remember her in our prayers. - Posted by: Frank Niesink - St. Catharines ON.
