Former resident shares “Aurora’s grief”

April 16, 2014   ·   0 Comments

To the Residents of Aurora: With the fire and destruction of your United Church, Aurora has suffered a devastating loss that is being felt in other parts of the country as well.
There are many of us in far corners of Canada who have happy childhood memories of Old Aurora.
The United Church was one of the icons firmly planted in our minds.
As a small girl in the 1950s, I walked uptown countless times from Kennedy Street West with my grandmother, Olive Closs.
The route always took us past Aurora United Church. It was just there. And now it isn’t. My mother, June Seaton Closs, was christened in the church in 1926. And then in 1945 I was christened there too.
I send my most sincere condolences to all of you.

Lynn Closs Tomlinson
Qualicum Beach, British Columbia
