  • To Gaylene, Denise, and Andrew, Sad to have to be sending these words to you. 2016 has been such a difficult time for you. Nice that your Mom did come to our cottage in Ponemah for a couple of visits, and I did meet her a few times in Gimli. Do know she was very fond of living in Gimli, near Lake Winnipeg. It was always nice to have Gaylene, drop in to see us at our cottage, on her swimming excursions, will miss that. Know you are in my thoughts.

  • I will so greatly miss my wonderful zen friend. She will be in my heart forever. Her memory will live on through her three beloved children, her family and friends. Her last e-mail to me was a friendship bouquet. How amazing is that. My condolences to Gaylene, Denise, Andrew, and all of her family and friends.

  • Loosing a friend or family member seems to be the time when we reflect back on memories. And there are so many memories with Barb going back to grade 6 at Earl Grey school. So glad that Barb and I over the past few months had the time to talk about school days, car hop days at Sals, camping trips, parties and of course our children. So many fun times over the years. Thanks to Denise and Gaylene for keeping in touch through such a difficult time. Our sincere condolences to the family.
