My condolences to you Keith, and to your family on the recent passing of your mom. I have fond memories of your mom and dad at the No Frills grocery store at Hamilton Rd. and Coventry Ave. They were always happy to see me as I was to see them. Sometimes, our arrival at the store was at the same time, so we would have a chat before grocery shopping.
May God continue to provide comfort to your family as you mourn her loss.
Sincerely,
Harry

To the Trussler family, so very sorry for your loss. Marg was always such a big presence in our church family, involved in many groups over the years. She was one of the first people who made us welcome to the Parish when we moved back to London in 1975. We will miss our telephone chats .. and seeing her in her favourite pew.

Dear Keith and Family,
My condolences to you and your family. I was very saddened to see about the passing of your mother. Murray always spoke very highly about her on our Friday morning coffee visits at the House. I am sure Murray has welcomed her home and they are together again.

Very sorry to hear that Marg has passed away.
She was a lovely, kind person; and will be missed by many!
I met Marg about 1956, when I started seeing her nephew, Bob.
It did not matter when I saw Marg she was always dressed,
and ready to meet anyone or go anywhere; it could be 9:00 am or
9:00 pm.
Love, Eva

Such a loving and gracious lady. Marg and Murray made me welcome the minute I arrived at their church -- St. Timothy's back then. Marg was a quiet presence, but with a twinkle in her eye. I will miss her in so many ways. . . . I have to add that Marg's memory was amazing. A couple of years ago, I asked Marg if she might have known my late uncle. Without hesitation, she answered: "Yes, he was a typing teacher at Beal." I'm sure she hadn't heard his name in at least 50 years.

My best memory is the first time Marg and Murray visited me in Alberta. I opened the front door to the most pleasant unexpected surprise visit. They were the first family memebers to find me in my new home. Love from Murray and Judy.
