Silvia married John Vroone in 1989 and Claudette's beloved grandson Justin arrived in 1990.
Mom enjoyed gardening and loved her flowers. She loved to cook and bake and was hard to beat...she made Very Delicious meals and desserts. She became a C.W.L. member of the Catholic Women's League and decided to become member of Women's Italian Auxiliary.
She then became a member of the Italian Canadian Fraternal society for many years. Also, mom enjoyed to be in a singing group "The Country Echoes" for the old folks home.
Mom wanted to thank her sister Diane and her best friend Erika for continuing their phone calls for keeping in touch. Thanks to Dr. Hermann Nell and Home Support for continuous help and support.
