I would like to send out my deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Doris McCabe of Sarnia, Ont. who passed away June 27. She was the daughter of the late Harry and Emily Mayhew and wife of the late Martin McCabe. She leaves behind her sisters Ida Stephens, Eunice Gaglardi (Ken), Beryl Heath (Fred) and Pauline McNutt (Stan).

I would also like to send my condolences to the family of Barbara Mayhew who passed away June 21. She was the daughter of the late Eileen Miliken and Denzel Mayhew. Condolences to her sons Christopher and spouse Tammie Lamothe and Sean (Danutia). She was the sister to Ron, Sterling, Sally (Bill Keindel) Vincent (Debbie Leach), Marion (Mike Parrington), Shelley (Terry Provost) and Connie (Bob Bryant).

I had a surprise visitor this weekend. My daughter, Shelley from Port Carling, Ont. decided to come home and visit for the weekend. It was nice having her here alone so I could have more one on one time with her. She came Friday afternoon and stayed until lunchtime on Sunday. Theresa came over and we played a lot of cards.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Zelda Holland on July 7, to Junior Amyotte on July 9, to Lacy Bertrand, Karen Frost and Amanda McCoshen all on July 10, to Jessica Hill and Serena Larivière on July 11, to Corey Pilon and Suzanne Dubeau on July 12, to Joe Bella, Lynn Morin, William Junior Rivet and Linda Ferrigan all on July 13.

I would also like to send out happy anniversary wishes to Allyson and Trevor Beauregard on July 7, to Suzanne and Phillip Pilon, Roxanne and Pat Shea on July 9 and to Alex and Suzanne Kluke and Suzanne and John Walsh July 13.

What a crazy year or should I say two? Due to COVID we have been stuck in our homes, unable to travel or see family and friends. Now this crazy heat wave out west and forest fires, seven weeks of spring drought here, lack of supplies, grocery prices going sky high, and everything being blamed on COVID, or should it be?

Can’t get contractors or electricians to fulfill their contracts. Frustrations are running high all over. Everyone wants things to be back to normal. But it won’t until everyone gets vaccinated. There are so many non-believers. What a crazy world we now live in.
