She was known to don goalie gear to play hockey with the afore-mentioned. Many years ago she enjoyed playing organ and singing at St. Veronica’s Church. She enjoyed knitting for her family. She was an adventurous cook introducing us to Chinese food long before it was popular. Her desserts were fabulous, especially her tiered Pavlova (torte). Appreciative of her domestic efforts, Henry would whisk her off to Bermuda, Cuba and other destinations for fun and relaxation. She loved floating in the tropical waves. Those that she touched will remember her strong loving presence, her playful spirit, generosity and kindness.
