Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • I'm only just seeing this now. I was just writing a piece on Christmas memories and every year on Christmas Eve Jim and Angela would come over to our family home in Transcona. As a young child I remember waiting for their arrival with eager anticipation because (Uncle) Jim was such a great character. Always smiling and laughing and every year until I was old enough to figure it out...he'd pull an egg out of my ear. It was magic. ;-) My deepest condolences to Angela who is as lovely a person as they come. Our family was always so very fond of you both. Best Wishes, Dale - Posted by: Dale Vickner (family friend) on: Dec 22, 2017
