Dear Robuck family and Reginald, It is with both sadness and fond remembrances that we read today's obituary for your mother/sister. It takes Mom back to the days at the Wales (swanky) Hotel in their green uniforms as elevator operators. The fun, the people and the good job, Mom said your Grandma had the tough job in the hotel laundry. Mom and Dad's wedding with Bert at her side. The many years beyond with the fun, trials and tribulations of work, kids, and family. In my younger years I remember coming home from school many a day to the site of our mothers with bandanas on their heads, feet up, on the matching chairs and ottoman sharing a "we earned it" cocktail and having the big laughs over shared experiences and friends. I believe us kids were also the fuel for many a giggle. I remember thinking in my childhood eye rolling wisdom "cleaning projects just cannot be that much fun". The years pass and the world shrinks, closer to home and the many generations of family that our mothers are blessed with. Despite all that, on a day like today the remembrances, stories and laughs my mother conveys reminds us all of the extent of their life beyond the family and the fond times that keep them smiling and alive in one another's heart and minds. May your memories of fun and laughter give you comfort. The Tetrault family
