Sending our sincere condolences to all of the family
Losing a loved one is always difficult. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
So sorry to hear this but know she, and all of you are loved. Love to the family.
So very sorry to hear of your great loss but she lead an amazing life making it to such an age. She was a wonderful lady and such a good friend to our family all those years in OF. I remember coming to Van. with your family for some reason & I think we all went to see The Music Man and it might even have been live theatre – so many years ago! I also remember visiting your home in New West. A great lady she was!!!
My Aunt Gwen encouraged me to pursue an adventurous life, one full of learning, curiosity, joy with friends and love of family. Through her actions and deeds, she inspired me to do just that. I will be forever grateful for having her in my life and wish to share my condolences to the entire Jemson family.
