Dear Susan Barb and Pete I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. My parents absolutely loved your mom, as did all of us who were fortunate enough to know her. Both she and your Dad figured large in our lives growing up and I think of them both during many happy times on Lake Huron or in Toronto. May your sweet memories sustain you at this time.

Mrs. Bradford was a quiet constant in my life, always at the piano at Hillcrest United, Mom and her were quite a team. My sincere condolences to the family and especially my former babysitter Barbie. 💛

My deepest sympathy for your family's loss. I am so sad to know that the beautiful soul who was Carol Bradford is no longer with us, but I am glad that she got to listen to music that meant something to her and sail away. Carol was a good friend to both of my parents and a very important colleague to my dad. She really was a huge part of the special sauce that was Hillcrest United Church. Carol's beautiful playing was definitely one of the great gifts she gave the congregation but that was far outweighed by her kindness and generous spirit. I will always remember her fondly.

My deepest sympathy on the loss of your beautiful mother, grandmother and great grandmother. I'll always treasure the memory of her visit to Windsor several years ago. We all enjoyed the afternoon and it felt like she just lived down the block. Christmas and Easter cards kept us connected over the years .....even the occasional phone call. So proud of her musical talents and still have a few of her CD's I can play. Sincerely, Mary Lou Horsburgh Killen
