    I was not sure who to send this to and how to send it, so I decided to send an email to everyone on my mother's address book. I know some of you may already know this but, my mother passed away this morning at 8:10 am. Some of you may have known her as Carryll, Vivian or Finlady. My mother suffered for many years. She went peacefully and she is now with God, probably talking an arm and a leg off him asking questions..haha! We will miss her, but it was good to see her at peace. The obituary will be in the Eagle herald tomorrow. The address is www.eagleherald.com. Love to all, Liane (her daughter) I received the above e-mail today and thought those that don't use the forums would like to know. The obligatory question mark?
