To the entire Conant family
I am so saddened by the news of your mother's passing. I used to work with her at Sarnia Cake & Candy Supplies back when you boys were just little. I remember, actually, ringing the jingle bells outside your bedroom windows one Christmas Eve, at your mom's request, so you would think it was Santa. I always loved your mom's spirit and how feisty she was! I just "ran" into her last week at the hospital. It had been many years since our paths crossed. I saw her both Wednesday and Friday. Friday she told me she would likely be going home and wouldn't be there when I returned to work this week. Sadly, I guess she was correct. I gave her a copy of a newspaper clipping of the store opening back in '83 and wrote my number on the back so she could call me for coffee. She seemed genuinely happy to see the picture. I won't be able to be there in person to pay my respects since I will be at work but please know that you will all be in my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. Thinking of you all.
