To Richard, Heather Greg, Wendy, Robert, Sheila, Jeanette and Family and Areta s Friends. Shirley and I have known Areta all our lives for all of us beginning in Red Rock and Stanley and from years of reunions at St Peter s Church , on Stanley s hill. We also shared the same Aunties through the Hood Family. My Mother was Edna Hood. I also kept aware of Areta and Lois, because I worked with Estella for years. Despite living away- coming home ,and ,meeting Areta and Carl at church in Stanley was a happy occasion. Shirley and Bill would bump into them at Fredericton and area. We were very saddened last week to learn of your great loss of your beloved Mother, Grandmother, Sister and Friend. Areta was a very special person and a bright light to all who knew and loved her. Please accept our deepest condolences to you all as you gather to celebrate Areta tomorrow. May you receive comfort from the love of your Family ,Friends and the Faith that binds us all. ----Sincerely, Annie MacKinnon and Shirley Reardon MacKinnon --- ( I am making a memorial donation to Fredericton Hospice )
