Relation: A teach
My deepest condolences to Audrey’s family. Audrey was my grade 3 teacher. She was a kind and patient lady. Years later I met up with her again. I had the pleasure of being her nurse. We chatted about the years that had passed between our meetings. Such a pleasure to have known this beautiful soul who contributed so much to others in many different ways. R.I.P. dear lady.
From: Celia Thomas
Relation: She was my grade 3 teacher
I came to this country half-way through grade 3 and Mrs. A. Thomas was my first Canadian teacher. In the beginning I spoke no English, but she taught and encouraged me and I’m still grateful for her patience and kindness to this day. A few years ago (15 or more) I happened to see her at the Rock Creek Fall Fair and had the opportunity to thank her. She was a gracious lady. My condolences to her family and friends.
