Dear Aunt Bev and Cousins Michael, Gerry, Karen, Janine, Tim, and families: We were very saddened to hear of Uncle Mick's passing. Our last meeting with your family was the chance encounter at a park in Vancouver where you were having a picnic. That's only one of many, many fond memories of Uncle Mick. In our family, the little stories of days gone by are repeated over and over with fondness. The memory of Uncle Mick singing "Eating Goober Peas" when Wayne and I were at the farm in Killarney usually arises at pea picking time wherever I am. There is often a reference to Uncle Mickey's "shortcuts" when we're driving around in Winnipeg. Recalling his enthusiasm when he gave a slide show of his European travels with Aunt Bev is another favourite memory, along with the warm and generous hospitality that accompanied it. He was truly a great guy, and although we were not in touch as often lately, he will always be in our hearts. Our sincere condolences to all. With love, Joanne and Michael Donnelly and family
