When Donelda was a teenager, she babysat the Brown girls in Thornbury. My mom Mary was the eldest of these girls. She spoke very fondly of Donelda over the years and really enjoyed reminiscing over the phone with her when they both ended up living in Sarnia. My condolences to the family and may your memories of Donelda always have a special place in your hearts.

Dear Cathy and family:
My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to you with the passing of your dear mother, Donelda. It’s so hard losing a mother, no matter what the age.
It was wonderful chatting with you, Cathy, even after four decades. I felt as though time stood still during our conversation.
I will have a Mass said for your mom soon.
Please keep in touch and let me know how you’re doing.
Hugs, Karen (Halifax, NS).

I think of the wonderful times Donelda had while visiting among her many first cousins and their families at the yearly James-Ball family picnic held at Springwater Park, Midhurst, For many years too, she returned to her childhood home community on the Sixth Line of (the former) Collingwood Township, Grey County, to attend the yearly service at Rock Union Church where she had attended "Sabbath School" as a child.
To Donelda's family, I extend our sympathy. May you know God's peace and the support and care of others at this difficult time.
Kindest regards, Elizabeth McKinlay and David Morris, Owen Sound, ON
(My father Francis McKinlay and Donelda were first cousins. Dad's mother Mary (nee James) and Donelda's father Elbert James were siblings.)
