I have wonderful memories of your parents! Taking a trip on the old highway with Mom & Dad to visit Uncle Peter & Aunt Mag and 'the boys'! I recall at least one time that we were caught on our drive home in a blizzard so thick we could hardly see the road. I recall stories of my Dad's bachelor life with Pete and Mag when they were first married and farming in Headingley. Aunt Marg was a wonderful person. She valued family and invested in family relationships throughout her life. For many years after Peter's passing she continued to make annual visits to BC. I am richer for knowing her. We mourn for your loss yet rejoice that she is 'promoted to glory'! Helen Esau Ho - Posted by: Mai & Helen Ho & family (niece) on: Feb 01, 2014

So sorry to hear of Aunt Maggie's passing. We loved her and enjoyed her visits when she came to visit my mother, Helen. Many good memories of our childhood in Headingley with both Uncle Peter and her. Love to Terry and Darrell. Irene Raabe and sister Louise Cheney. - Posted by: Irene (Esau) Raabe (niece) on: Feb 01, 2014
