My heart hurts saying goodbye to my mother’s cousin Luella who was like a second mother to me. She was blessed with a long full life, but I will miss her. Moved in with her and Colin when I arrived in Wawa on January 5th, 1952 with Bill Dereski who was returning to work after being in Whitemouth for Christmas. Started working at Algoma Ore a week later and boarded with them until I married Joan on May 5th, 1954. So many great stories, laughs and shared memories we will forever cherish.

Deepest condolences to the Campbell and Wardrop families on their loss. It was always a joy to run into Luella and have a chat. She will be missed.
Sorry to hear about the passing of Luella. I knew here through church activities. I also know Mel who had Paul Smitham [my husband] as his bestman. My condolences to the families!
