Hi , You didnt give me your name but I am so delighted to hear from you, as you see from all the messages I finally traced May's resting place, its taken me years and a kind person last year finally took all the fotos of the grave although unmarked, I was told by the Pinehills people that to even put a small marker it would need Lynn's permission , and I didnt want to get in touch as it may have upset the family, so I just left it as that ,I would love to keep in touch with you if I may as I have had so much to tell them ,I did get a letter at the time and it was a Mrs. Hamilton who wrote to me I was only 24 at the time and I really was near to finishing my life off as only 2 weeks before I had May's letter telling me that she didnt know when she left Scotland that she really did love me.Anyway its a long story and I would like to keep your connection.Now I am 78 and almost married 50 years to a Spanish girl with 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren,but May is never far from my thoughts.....
if you could reply to me to les(at)gm3itn.co.uk
I would be so grateful ...love Les

hi Mat,
I just got back from Spain a three weeks ago and was checking my emails etc and found your last message to me .I spoke with Tina at the cemetery and she said the title deed holder would be needed to be asked re a  placement of a plaque and I think its probably a daughter of the uncle and aunt away back in 1959 where she stayed .I have had second thoughts as the person might not want to do anything or to be reminded of the tragedy or even may not have been born then ....but I can see section on google world and if you could take a foto of the surrounding graves i think i could probable find it that way its section 6 and lot 799 .I will attach a plan and if you could mark it or if you couls send me a area foto I will try to place it .
my email is *  If i can take a copy of googlei will try and put it on here or send to you  thanks in advance, no hurry just if you can make it sometime Yours Les

Hi Mat Thats very kind of you to answer , I have been in touch with Tina Acuavita  in the Pinehills Center and she went out last week to have a look for me, sadly there is no stone to mark May's grave , I am going to Spain for a winter break till April 17 and I know a girl here in Glasgow who makes acrylic plaques and things like that and I am hoping maybe she can do a marker for me and send it to and you or Tina who will place it for me , Its a long story but she was my sweetheart in Glasgow and she had promised a fellow from Glasgow to marry him in Cleveland Ohio and we parted when she arrived she found that it really was me she loved and called it all off and he took her to stay with relatives in Scarbourgh and she was on a nite out with her pal and they both plus 2 italian guys died in a garage in Toronto from carbon monoxide gas and I was in between leaving my ageing parents and coming over to Toronto so God put his hand in the way to fix it all for ever ..but although I am happily married and have grand children I am with her every night ...I do believe in ghosts !! thank you kindly Les hamilton ....have a look at my webpages its for radio hams but there are a lot of interesting items  www.gm3itn.co.uk  yours Les

Thanks again JDC I have sent an email to the Pinehills Cementery Center to ask for the grave number and location in section6, so when I have that it should be no problem for someone to go and take a foto in the springtime when all the snows have gone..hope someone will see this and can do this for me!!yours Les

I read on the site that some kind soul lives near pinehills cementery and managed to find a grave for someone!!!I wonder if someone would do the same for me? I lost my sweetheart 52 years ago in a tragic accident when 4 young people were killed by carbon monoxcide gas in a garage in Toronto on 25th Jan 1959 .
I know she was buried in Pinehills and I had the grave number and plot from the cementery records, which they kindly sent me. I believe the plot was in section 7 or 8,(to the s.e. of the center, I visited toronto on a tour 4 years ago and only had a one night stay and no time to investigate . Her name was Mary(May) Davis and she died on 25/01/1959  could anyone please find the grave and let me know if there is even a stone and give me a position or a foto so that I can find it on google earth or maybe if i can revisit toronto find it your help will be most appreciated ..Les Hamilton Glasgow Scotland
