Valentines are the oldest forms of greeting and whether they are sentimental, witty, sarcastic - they delight people of all ages. Their history dates back to the third century A.D. and whether you are a sweetheart, wife, mother, fa- ther, etc. - we hope you receive your share of Valentines today. Sympathy Extended. Our thoughts and prayers are with son Jim France and other members of the family in the passing of Margaret France in Port Perry Community Hospi- talon Monday, Feb. 6. Many were indeed saddened to learn of the passing of a be- loved friend Margaret France of Utica, formerly of Scugog Point. She had been living in the Villa since not feeling the best. Her husband Bob and son George had pre-deceased her. | It was evident that Marg was well liked, with her ready smile and always a keen interest in Nestleton Church and commu- nity affairs having served well in Nestleton Women's Institute and York East District years ago as secretary-treasurer. In her earlier days at Scugog Point, Marg occupied herself making her lovely home a warm and beautiful place to live for Bob and herself. She also loved her flowers and tended them well outdoors. Her gorgeous ros- es were a picture! She was a highly principled lady of character and style with. a heart of gold. She was loved, admired and respected and will be greatly missed by many rela- tives and warm friends who knew her kindly ways and gene- rosity. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great- grandmother and a true friend! We shall cherish her memory!! Nestleton U.C.W.
