Good Morning Marilyn, I had often wondered where your Mom had stayed, having been out of the province for a number of years, lost track. This brings many happy memories back. My prayer is that you may find your strength in the Lord especially as the days and weeks pass. It means re-adjustment of time for you I am sure of that. God has given us the gift of memory and we can hold unto them, but also I would like to say that God is your -Arm that protects, Help that assures, Wisdom that guides, Love that endures, Physician that heals. My sympathy and prayers are with you, Martha - Posted by: Martha Dyck Martens (Childhood neighbor) on: Dec 16, 2012

I remember picnics at Fraser's Grove park when I was a child - sitting and visiting with my aunts and uncles - and listening to Auntie Margaret and my other aunts talk about growing up on the farm. It was always so nice to sit and hear their rememberances about their past. Faspas at Omas on Craig Street and time spent together were just a few of my favorite memories of Auntie Margaret. I was honored to be her namesake and, even a few months ago when we were visiting we shared a few memories and laughs of "the good old days" and she imparted a bit of her gardening advice to me. I will always love and miss you Auntie Margaret. - Posted by: Margaret Johnson (Niece) on: Dec 15, 2012
