I am presently in Quebec city visiting with a friend. This evening we looked at the obituaries in the Winnipeg Free Press where the name Charley Lambert got our attention. We both attended Otterburne College when we were in grade 12 and when Charley was in grade 10. He was a fine youngster and we have excellent memories of him. We can very well understand that you are hurting at this moment. We also noticed that today was funeral day. Our condolences go out to you all along with our prayers.

I had the privilege of teaching his two sons Greg and Glenn the confirmation class in their early teen years. Charles make sure they attended and encouraged them participate actively. Now Glenn, Donald and him will have more time together with no pain, just peace. - Posted by: Jocelyne G. Durand (fellow parish member) on: Nov 04, 2014
