Hi everyone, So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I have fond memories of visiting your house and eating her baked goods. Enjoyed the last time seeing her with you, Barb, and we caught up on things past and present. I still think often of growing up with you all and all the things we did. Again my sympathy to you. Sorry I did not find out in time to attend your service. Cheryl
Thank you! Nice to hear from you. Amazing how Auntie Joan keeps on. Mom fell and broke her hip about May 10 and really never recovered. We'd been staying with her 24/7 until she passed away June 30th. I am sure Auntie Joan will miss David frightfully-and not really a lot of support you can give from a distance. Yes- I remember meeting you both as well-and your children at that time were quite smallish. How life changes-and it what seems like a fairly short time. I hope all's well with you, and appreciate the connect. Please keep my email address and let me know how things go with Auntie Joan. thanks Janet Janssen
So sorry to hear of your loss. I have let Joan know and we will be back in Winnipeg soon to give her the obituary. We remember meeting Auntie Beanie at Joan and Cam's house with our 3 children and Janet too. Joan is doing as well as can be expected, settling into an interim full care nursing home waiting for a spot to open up in a home we have chosen. Its been very hard with the loss of Dave. He was her no one caregiver and did so much for her. Take care Ken and Colleen xo
So sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Graham. We have fond memories of when we were neighbours on the North Hill in Red Deer. With our deepest sympathy.
