Dealing with the death of a parent is difficult, but then looking after Estate affairs is not any better. Your advice, help and understanding has certainly made this task as easy as possible for us.

We know that Mom had confidence with CIBC Wood Gundy, while meeting with you, over the years her account was active. We also experienced that confidence during our recent interactions with your team! Many thanks from all of us for a job well done!"
