My mind floods with memories. I am so sorry Leanne, Mary and Renee at how everyone lost such a solid and loving mum! My earliest memory was on Athol Street in Fergus in your backyard. On the side garden I was examining blue flowers - called perennial blue cornflowers. Your mum appeared beside me and called them "Centennial flowers" and spent time with me showing the shape of the flower to justify this name. The year was 1967 or 1968. I have called them by this name ever since. Here in Dartmouth, I have the blue "centennial" flowers growing in my side garden - and they spread like weeds!. I grow them because - and I'm very serious about this - I always have that strong memory of your mum spending time with me back then!
