So sad to lose one of Ontario's premiere basket makers. I met Melinda while I was serving on the Board of Craft Ontario. Melinda was very active on the Board and became the President in 2002. She has been a true supporter of the craft community and Craft Ontario, a great leader and adviser to many. My sincere condelences to John and their family.
Our sincere sympathy to you and family John at this sad time.
Mindy will be remembered for the "lovely lady" she was. We were privileged to know her a short time.
Our love and blessings to you,
Sandra and Peter
John, please accept our condolences. 60 years together is a wonderful life goal for any of us to aspire to, but I know all those memories can't replace your loss.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Melinda was such a talented woman whose work was an inspiration. All the best to her family.
Melinda was one of my instructors in learning basketry and I was in awe of her work. Her colours were magnificent, her designs and sometimes the mere size of her baskets, were inspiring. I knew her briefly and am so very thankful our paths crossed.
Sincere condolences to her family.
