  1. My deepest sympathies to Susan, Patricia, Janet and families.
    I played bocce with Sue, but I go back to having lunches with her when she worked for the insurance company located at the Credit Union building in Copper Cliff. I enjoyed her company and we had a good time. She will be missed at Bocce. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

  2. My deepest condolences, Sue, Pat & Jenny your mom was a great lady that was always a big part of the curling club. I can’t think of a bonspiel without laughing about her”talents”. She embodied what curling is all about, fun and friendship on and off the ice. Personally she was a confidant when my mother passed and provided unlimited dog knowledge when I needed my dogs the most. She will be missed.
