Katherine was a wonderful wife and mother. She created a happy home on 94 Martin Avenue for all of us. I have many happy memories of our life there. Mom and dad took us on many a road trip throughout Manitoba and the States. We camped and found motels shaped like wigwams. Rock hunting in Souris, fishing up north and Saturdays at Grand Beach are part of our heritage. Mom outlived dad by many years but he was always in her thoughts, as she will be to us all. Thanks to everyone who helped make her last few days comfortable. Thanks especially to Mandy and Beryl. - Posted by: LAUREE Andrews (Daughter) on: Apr 24, 2013
