To the Torr Family. I was very sorry to learn of the passing of Mavis and I had the pleasure of meeting both Mavis and Bill through my voluntaring work for the Cancer Society. They were extremely lovely people to have meet. I am sure you will have lots of good memories to help you through this sad time. My kindest regards Julie 🙏
