Sincere sympathy to the family and many friends of Marjory Boileau. Marjory grew up in Devlin and was a great family member and friend to many. This continued when she moved to Fort Frances and raised her family there surrounded by the many people that loved her dearly. She was a friendly person, always took time to chat with anyone in her presence.
Marjory made the world a better place and that is how she will be lovingly remembered.

Robin’s 2 cents
A group of seniors were travelling by tour bus through Holland. As they stopped at a cheese farm, a young guide led them through the process of cheese making, explaining that goat’s milk was used. She showed the group a lively hillside where many goats were grazing. These, she explained were the older goats put out to pasture when they no longer produced. She then asked, “ What do you do in your country with the older goats?” A spry old gentleman answered. “They send us on bus tours.”
