Well, Georgia I just wondered about you and Armand after such a long, long, time and happen to google your names. So sorry to hear about Armand's passing. He was always kidding around wasn't he? April Fool's Day??? Makes you smile. Dick (passed 2004) and Elsie, as well as Rick sure enjoyed a lot of fun times with you and a few trips too I recall. Bryan and I wish you all the best Georgia. You have a good heart and people who know you are the fortunate ones. Bryan and Wilma - Posted by: Wilma & Bryan Fraser (daughter-in-law & son of Georgia & Armand's neighbours & friends Dick and Elsie Fraser, way back in ) on: Jul 31, 2013

Georgia, We are so sorry to hear of Armand's passing. He surely would have had a really good laugh, as this will be my third try at submitting this. Though its been many years since Linda & I moved from Winnipeg. We will always remember when we showed up in a brand new city freshly starting our adventure in life. Both you and Armand welcomed us into your home, like we had always belonged there and were made to feel at home. Armand was always first to offer a helping hand, a good laugh or some helpful advice. So glad to have those good memories of both you and Armand in our lives back in those early days in Winnipeg, we will miss him. Rest in Peace Armand, we will meet again on the other side of the horizon old friend. - Posted by: Richard & Linda Rochon (Family friends) on: Apr 22, 2013
