To Debbie - I have so many fond and loving memories beginning when I first met you in 1956. You went outside with John and Graham helping to clear the snow from the back yard sidewalks. You were my flower girl in 1958. The "best" professional group photo shows you looking up at your Uncle Johnny Hanak. Your mother loved that photo because she said it was "so you". I remember your love for Duffy. You were a beautiful young bride who became saddled with her brother's Calgary Cope Kit. Your Uncle Dick and I enjoyed a visit to your Calgary home. and we were honored to have a visit from you in our home.
You faithfully kept in touch with us every Christmas. I appreciated you came to for Dick's services and brought your mother. I know from experience how difficult it could be to manage a wheelchair in public setting. You mother was so very blessed to have you. My last memory was of a confident, beautiful mature woman who presented a wonderful endearing eulogy for her mother.
I had hoped and prayed for a miracle when i learned of your devastating illness but it was not to be granted. You were so brave.
Love Aunt Dorothy Hanak
