To the Shannon family: I will always remember your Mom as a person with a sharp wit, a warm laugh and a caring nature. The memories of the summers we spent in Oliver with Aunt Catherine, Uncle Bob and the family bring heartfelt memories to me, and are a tribute to the warmth of her character.

I have happy memories of Miss McRae when attending High School in Oliver. She was my home room teacher. When I returned to Oliver in 1995 I met her on many happy occasions as Mrs Shannon. She was a wonderful person and she remembered me after all the years. My deepest sympathy to the family.
