I'm so sorry to hear of "Mrs. Wray" 's passing - Mrs. Wray as we always called her in her class; I would see her a few times even 20yrs after her class in which I had her as a teacher, and she remembered me, and I'm confident it was good memories as she smiled. Even a couple years after her kindergarten class, me in gr 2, i think she was preparing some kind of snack as I passed her class after school and she genuinely kindly offered me some cabbage. God Bless her soul. She was a very nice lady and I hope the lord will watch and guide her family and friends. I'm sorry for the loss. God Bless you Mrs. Wray. RIP.
Words can't begin to express our sadness at the passing of a lovely lady.
Many good memories at Little Friend's with Dody
I just saw Dody with Jackie at the Richmond retired teachers' luncheon in September and marvelled, as always, how youthful and vigorous she looked. Blaise and I lived at Garry Estates from 1989 until 1995 where Dody was our neighbour along with her dog. Soon after we moved in, we met Allan who was around Blaise's age and the 4 of us would go to the pool when the boys were little. I met Dody's family at her annual New Years Day open house. I admired her letters to the editor and loyalty to friends and her community.
