Mavis's family were the among the first people we met when moving to the Armstrong block back in 1986. Our families have been lifelong neighbours. As my parents' daycare provider who was conveniently two doors away, Mavis was an extension of our family. She was like my second Mom! She watched me grow up since my earliest days. Most of my childhood memories involve Mavis's house. Playing in the backyard, eating her snacks and buns, playing with bunnies, jumping on the trampoline, or racing to grab the corner seat on the basement couch - so many memories! Those were the days! Thank you Mavis for helping to raise me - I was a brat sometimes! You couldn't get anything past Mavis, she always knew what was going on in the neighbourhood! She was a lively woman with an infectious laugh and always stopped to say hello. The Amstrong block won't be the same without her. It's difficult to believe she has moved on, but we will find solace in knowing that she is at peace and comfort in the many memories she has given us. My thoughts are with the Zinovich family during this time - we share in their grieving and send our most sincerest sympathies. You are all in our hearts. Rest easy, Mavis. Thank you for everything.
