She was a wonderful Aunt and we loved her and her eccentricities. Her neighbors all enjoyed her warm caring attitude. I miss going to visit her on the third floor of Eaton's book Dept. for lunch. She was a longtime member at St. Ignatius Church in Wpg. and a great patron of the Mission of Darjeeling in India and was also a supporter of Amnesty International as well as the Sisters of Charity in Wpg. where her nephew Mark works so tirelessly. She was a great correspondent in our family as witnessed by the many letters left in her home at her passing. She always gave of books in the mail lovingly gift wrapped for Christmas. She was also my Godmother when I was baptized in 1955 at St. Anthony's church in West Kildonan. We miss her and we love her. Signed Daniel T Watson eldest son of her twin brother Thomas. - Posted by: Daniel Watson (nephew) on: Nov 08, 2014
