     June (Martin) Perry recalls: "I lived with Grandma and Grandpa until I was 9 at 3015 Cedar Hill Road. They moved to 3015 Cedar Hill Road shortly after they were married and stayed there until they moved to 308-1625 Richmond Road, I believe 50 years after they married. I have fond memories of them. Grandma never worked outside the home, but entertained people constantly, especially people who had lost a spouse. She lost a son, Eric, to cancer (a lump under his arm) in 1954 when he was 21. She found this very difficult to deal with.
"Some of the things she did: home league leader, sang in the songsters in her earlier years, babysat me after school; was a very strong person; gave generously of her time to others; always had her house opened to anyone; never wore women's pants, i.e. pant suits, sang to me when I was a child, excellent cook known for her famous mushroom soup and stewed hamburger; never butted in our family when we lived in their basement suite, took her turn in looking after mother-in-law when she was living at May Gregson's house, i.e. staying overnight, doing laundry. When she used to babysit me on Monday nights when mum and dad bowled, I used to sit on the steps going upstairs to the bedrooms and peer down and watch T.V. The only show she went to was the Sound of Music as she did not believe in them. Attended the Glasgow II Corps when she was a child in Scotland."
