ALINE MANAIGRE April 19, 1947 - July 14, 2006 Chère Memère, I had my second birthday just 3 months ago, you should see how big I'm getting. I adore being at the farm, just like my papa, all the trucks and tractors, everything is so much fun! Spending time riding around with Pepère on the Toro is one of my favourite things to do. Your first granddaughter Anna was born in January and she's the prettiest little girl you've ever seen. I can't wait until she can run around the farm with me. I'm really looking forward to all the trouble we'll get into. And you wouldn't believe how big Cole is getting. He turned 14 in April, and I'm hoping he'll be able to teach me a few hockey moves this coming winter because he's pretty good at it. Everyone misses you every single day. Keep watching over Pepère Gilles, Matante Gisèle, Mononcle Wayne, Mononcle Ray, Matante Jacquie, Matante Gaetane, Papa Rob, Maman Natalie, and my cousins Cole and Anna. Je t'aime beaucoup. Max.
