Sending my condolences on the passing of your mom. Got to know her at Carson dr doing hair. She was a lovely genuine person, was always a pleasure to do her hair and enjoyed our conversations. Rest easy Mercia
My deepest sympathy Nicole for the loss of your Mother! I worked directly with your father Ed for over 25 years. He was my supervisor and mentor throughout our career in both Transport Canada & Public Works Canada. He was a great person who was extremely dedicated to his career and to the welfare of his fellow workers. For the longest time I wanted to reach out to your Mother to tell her about the great man he was at work. Unfortunately I did not have to courage to reach out and not disturb her. I remember times when you would call for him and I was the one who answered the phone. As a young person you would ask to speak with Mr Biddiscombe! I hope you get to read this message! Feel free to reach out if you want to hear more about your father. Georges Landry
