“Dear Shirley, this is your friend Irene❤️ We met through your selling Avon at Trent University while I was still working there and gradually became very good friends. I will forever miss our lunch and coffee dates, our deep conversations and your honest material advice; you said once you are my “substitute mother in Canada” and I loved that. I am so sorry I didn’t find out about you going to the hospital and getting sick. I wish i were able to say goodbye and see you and talk to you again! RIP!”
