Dear Jerry and the Wowchuck family. I'm sorry to hear that your mom passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. I have nothing but beautiful memories of Aunty Marno and all of us as kids growing up at the lake. She is at peace now and just remember all the special times on how she touched all of our lives.

Words can't express the impact that Mrs. Wowchuk made on our whole family. We have known her since we were children and it always felt like we were visiting our grandmother. Like all grandmothers, she always tried to feed us her famous perogies. She was a funny, good hearted individual who always had a smile and time to talk. She will be sadly missed. - Posted by: Bill, Sonia and Family (Dauphinais) (Friends) on: Mar 25, 2013

Wes and Margaret and my parents were the closest of friends. So it was, that my brother Murray and I (Karen) grew up with Margaret & Wes's boys while our parents visited often. When I was in need of care for my own young children (Colin and Laura) Margaret was there without hesitation. She was a Godsend to us. Other than my own Mom/Mom-In-Law, I could not have asked for more loving and caring hands to care for my children when I had to work full time. She was their Aunty Margaret! Colin and Laura were very attached to Margaret and were happy to go to her house. She had a special way with children. I was amazed how she could get them to do just about anything. They loved the perogie making times because Margaret let them play with and roll dough. They left her house always with smiles. Our deepest condolences to you Wes, Jerry and Kenny and family. Margaret is a lady one will not forget. She always had a smile and a "come on in" for you. She even sent me on my way to work with coffee. Our family is thankful for her and will miss her. Heaven now has this amazing gracious lady. Karen, Ian, Colin and Laura McKay - Posted by: Karen, Ian,Colin , and Laura McKay (family friend) on: Mar 25, 2013
