Thanks to everyone that came for Mom’s service in Dauphin and the lunch in Winnipegosis to celebrate her life with us.   Thank you everyone in the area that helped her out with things when we couldn't.  I hope our family can all be together again some day.  The old folks always held families together and it was a less technical time.  We never know what we have until it’s gone. Love you mom, bye for now. Your three loving orphans.
