Mildred and I have been friends since 1970, going on 51 years. Mildred was the sister I never had. We had many wonderful experiences together during those years. We had so much in common, sewing, cooking, religious studies, love of animals etc. and that led us to taking many courses over the years. We also loved going to craft fairs and markets--just general shopping really, much to our husbands dismay.
In 1984 we were both transferred to Calgary. We were both downsized by Imperial Oil, Mildred in 1991 and myself in 1992. Well time marched on and I got married and a couple of years later Mildred got married to which we each became the others Made of
Honor. Different jobs for us came and went but we kept in touch a couple of times a week at least.
It isn't possible to put into words the importance of our friendship and how much Mildred meant to me. She positively influenced
my life in so many ways and I will never forget all the times we spent together.
Mildred, thank you for your friendship, I will miss you forever and will never forget all the times we spent together.
So, farewell my friend
Being your friend has been an honor.
Until me meet again...........
Joan
