Kitchener-Waterloo Record 11 Aug 1988 pg B11 _____________________ They were my grandparents! They were both wonderful people! My grandfather was a man that lived life with high standards and morals. He was a very wise man who loved his family very much and believed in helping people when he could. My grandmother was the most maternal person and was the perfect model of a grandmother. She showed her love through her home cooked meals. I remember her showing up at my door on several occasions with chicken soup when I was sick. She had "cookie parties" with her granddaughter's and made fun "granny boxes" at Christmas. They were two of the finest people you would ever meet and have left us with fond memories and a standard of morals to withhold. They have been missed since their passing Elizabeth-Hanlan-Gawel Facebook 2018 Preston Ontario. (2018). Facebook.com.
