Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

Hi WALTER & ANNE: My Mom always spoke very highly of your Mom and always reminiced about the time that she thought that she recogonized your Mom at a store in Winnipeg after they both hadn't seen each other for years after coming to Canada from England. My Mom said your Mom's name very quietly in Palahia's hearing range hoping that your Mom would respond and turn around to see who mentioned her name...if my Mom's haunch was actually true. Well, it was. It was a wonderful reunion. They found out that they lived in the same neighbourhood. We were on Church Street and you were on Cathedral Avenue if I recall correctly. As a result, I had a chance to meet you and your sister Anne and those memories have always stayed with me. The reason that these condolences are belated is because I just found out today that your Mom, Palahia passed away several years ago. My Mom will be very sad when I pass on the unfortunate news to her tomorrow. You are welcome to contact me at: makingsnowangels@shaw.ca if you wish. If I don't hear from you, on behalf of my family and myself, I would like to take this opportunity to express our belated condolences and wish you all the best for the future. B.
