To Murray, Sheila and Heather, Christmas 2017 was the first year we didn't get a hand written Christmas letter from Aunt Stella but we did receive a typed letter with note in her writing at the bottom and important in this note was mention of her 14 great grandchildren The three of us were at Stella and George's wedding and through the years we enjoyed visiting them at the farm in Westward Ho. We also enjoyed George and Stella's visits to us in Ontario. It was very different when Stella and Sheila visited us after George's passing but it was fun showing them around our area. We have many fond memories of Aunt Stella, may she rest in peace.
