After retirement Mom and Dad moved to Milford, where they lived until his passing. Mom then moved to the villa in Middle Musquodoboit where she resided until her illness then moving to her son Gerald's in White Rock. Mom was a very loving, caring person and always ready to lend a helping hand to all who needed it.
