I just want you to know that you have been in my thoughts all week. I am very sorry for your loss and can't imagine the emptiness of having your last parent pass on. Your mom is a very special lady and God blessed her with a lengthy stay here on earth. I have fond memories of your mom; even some very funny ones. She had a great laugh and that Badcock humour which is unique to say the least. These are my memories of her. May you all take comfort in the memories you have of your mom. You are truly blessed to have a mom like her just as I am blessed to have her sister (who shares many similarities)as my mother. Take care of yourselves, Cousin Valerie

Betty, Margaret and Ann, Thinking of you all during this difficult time. Yes Aunt Ina was a great woman, great hostess, and a card shark. I had the priveledge to spending time with her last year while she gave me the grand tour of her senior's home. She was sharp as a tack and was the source for family history. She told me that she helped make barrels with her grandfather badcock who was a cooper. She was a wealth of information and a beautiful and caring matriach for the family. She will be fondly remembered and will always be in our hearts. Adele

— Adele Carruthers
