I am sorry for writing this so late after my Aunt's death. Didn't realize I could do this as I didn't have the internet in 2012. I have many many happy memories visiting Aunty when my siblings and I were growing up. Between the 2 families lots of kids and lots of fun. My Dad was her brother, and my Mom (Alice) had a fabulous relationship with her. Unfortunately, after my Mom & Dad split up Mom and Aunty never really connected after that (partly also cause Mom lives in Chilliwack BC). Aunty you were such a dear person. - Posted by: denise desrochers (niece) on: Aug 03, 2014
