In Memoriam
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our Co-editor, Marcia Gosse. For the past few years she has faithfully taken care of the publishing of VISTAS. Her list of accomplishments is endless. She has led the handbell program at Rideau Park for years, was their Chair of Council, and was very active in a women’s organization, P.E.O., which raised money for education for women. She was grandmother to her four beautiful little grandchildren, and will be missed by her daughter and family members. To us at VISTAS, she was a cheerful blessing – one who stepped up to the plate to fill the hole made by the passing of Celine Tower. We thank Lynda Becker for her help in finishing the work on this October edition of VISTAS. Thank you, Marcia, for your years of dedication.
