She had the most style and class that I could say about any person.
She knew the lord and accepted you for your worth.
Mrs Strachn could never say anything bad about a person. Very seldom did I ever see her get mad.
Except for a big event at my old church when a pastor and his family left.
Boy was she mad.
This woman prayed over my sick children at different moments in their lives and they responded to her prayers.
As some of you may have guessed. LAUREL (MAMMY) STRACHN has gone home to the Lord this month.
Here is what the Toronto Star had to say today:

As I said to my friend Lisa tonight - you can say this is bad news or good news. Bad - cause she is gone, good - cause she is with the Lord.
