Please Recycle This Newspaper 7 guests at WI Sandra Mayberry became a resi- dent of Londesboro 27 years ago when she and husband, Larry, moved into the house they had been build- ing together for the previous number of months. That house also became home to two daughters, Marilyn and Kim, and one son, Darryl. One of Sandra's mottos was "live with love; nothing else matters". Her family was the highest priority in her life and she took utmost pride in all their achievements. Always supportive of her children's interests, Sandra was a 4-H leader for seven years, a Sunday School teacher and willing assistant in a number of other youthful activities. Their support took Larry and Sandra to California and Winnipeg and points between on occasion to encourage their children. Along with being a helpmate to her . husband all her married life in his construction business, Sandra took on a number of other challenges. For a time she did housecleaning for clients in the area. Alice Munro used Sandra's talents as a typist and proof reader at one time for her manuscripts. This work may have been the inspiration that found Sandra trying her hand at writ- ing children's stories — one of which was published in a magazine article. Sandra's children remember her as someone full of love she wanted to share with others. Her desire to help others found her volunteering at the Bluewater Correctional Centre in Goderich. When a 17-year-old had nowhere to go, the Mayberrys opened their home and hearts to him. He lived with them for two years while his life found direction. With the youngest of her children nearing adulthood, Sandra went back to school the fall and winter of 1994- 95. Wanting to tutor children, s he took several relevant courses at Conestoga College. Eturing the next six years, scores of children with learning disabilities found their way to her door. Parents and teachers can attest to Sandra's real talent in this field. Sandra was a willing worker for the congregation of Trinity Anglican Church in Blyth and their fundrais- ing activities, for example, meals during Blyth's annual dog show. Another of Sandra's beliefs was that a person should look adversity squarely in the eye. This is exactly what Sandra did when she received a diagnosis of cancer just a little over a year ago. Choosing not to have the tradition- al medical treatments, Sandra made the decision to fight this invasive dis- ease with alternative remedies and faith. The conviction that she had made the right choices for her surely sustained her during the difficult last weeks of her life. Sandra's struggle ended Dec. 19, the day after she and Larry celebrat- ed their 31st wedding anniversary. Hopefully , Sandra's example of strength and faith during life's chal- lenges will sustain her family as they learn to live without her physical presence in their lives. The virtue for Hullett Central Public School for Jan. 20 - 26 is enthusiasm. According to Charles Kingsley, "All that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about." Richard Bain conducted the serv- ice at Londesboro United Church on Sunday, Jan. 20. His message was titled, "Let Us Pray". Supporting scripture passages were Romans 8: 26-30 in which Christians are told that the Holy Spirit will help them in their praying; and Luke 11: 1-10 in which Jesus teaches His disciples The Lord's Prayer. Next Sunday the congregation will celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion. The confirmation class will meet at the manse on Thursday, Jan. 24 at 5:30 p.m. Submissions for the church annual report should be handed in to Rev. Six members of the Londesboro Women's Institute and seven guests met at Londesboro Community Hall on Monday, Jan. 14. Guest speaker, Carol Christianson, gave an interesting talk on, Education, Now and Then. Pierette Frost displayed many lovely crafts. Declining membership in the group gave rise to a motion to dis- band which was defeated. Another such vote will occur at the March , meeting unless there is an upswing in interest. Wilma Higgins, president of the Huron West District, spoke to the group regarding its future. The February meeting will be a card cavalcade in support of the Clinton Public Hospital Auxiliary on Feb. 11 at 1:30 p.m. in the hall. FROM LONDESBORO Cheerio Club dines Following dinner at Tom's Variety and Restaurant the ladies of the Cheerio Club spent their afternoon at the home of Dorothy Johnston. Correspondence included Christmas thank you notes. Those present were encouraged Christmas thank you notes. Those present were encour- aged to send postcards to the gov- ernment to encourage the re-exami- nation of the Steven Truscott case. Some interesting reminiscing was occasioned when Edythe Beacom passed around wartime coupons. Edythe won the draw of the month, donated by Marie Glousher. The afternoon concluded with card playing.
