Every Sunday Mrs Porter drove into the Huron complex to pick up children for Sunday School. She engaged in conversation with many moms. She enlisted others with vehicles to help. Mr Porter even had to buy a Robert Q van to help. Her vision resulted in children coming from Boulle, Kipps Lane, Oakville, to name a few other locations. We loved to help her and the children’s work.

Thank you for taking care of me when I was little. It was nice having a ‘sister’ Nancy for a few years. You will be sadly missed but loved and remembered always.
