Dear Family,
Many years ago when both our families lived in Parkview your mother and I would go back and
forth for coffee. I enjoyed these special times as your mother was always so pleasant and so much fun to be around. You will miss her greatly and we are sorry for your loss.
Hugh and Eleanor Montgomery and family
Judy Butler says
To all of you from the Butler\’s of the GTA, please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother, grandmother, relative and friend. I will always remember the warm welcome your parents and you boys gave us when we visited Edmonton as children. I know my parents (Joyce & Jim) enjoyed the visits that Evelyn and Bill would make when they passed by #52 Hillhurst Blvd. T.O. on their way to or from some destination. For myself your Mom always seemed to exude such a positive outlook on life and her smile and laughter were somehow infectious. Thinking of all of you at this time! Judy(Anna),Barb,Jamie(Colleen)& Greg,Nancy(Jim) & Samantha and Sean, our Mom Joyce.
