Our deepest sympathy to Larry, Elaine,Tracie and girls & Kimberlee and boys on the passing of your beloved Mom and Grandma (Ducky). We were all blessed by Auntie’s kindness, generosity and sparkling laugh.
I will personally hold the fondest of memories of joining in on family vacations to both Winnipeg and Woods Lake with U. Gene, A. Julie, Joanne and Larry( to whom I offer many apologies at the immature teasing by his sister and myself.. I think we were both a bit jealous of your Mom’s (rightful) adoration of you!
The words mascara, Easy-On spray starch, Neilson’s cocoa will always evoke sweet memories of Auntie for me and serve to remind us all that she was a true domestic goddess of the sixties and seventies as was evidenced by her pride of her home, her family and her personal being (always envied her beautiful skin)!
Thank you Auntie for your treat drawer filled with sweet surprises of a powdered donut or Jelly roll, your unflappable aplomb at hosting a family gathering (despite, understandably, you greeting us in your maroon housecoat and bobby socks until you were able to change into your holiday attire LOL!) Thank you for your kindnesses, your love and your thoughtfulness to me and mine!
Know that you were loved and the world was a better place because of you!
With much love, Charlene,Murry and family
