I have thought of The Volkers, on and off, since We all came to Ontario from Manitoba! Most curiously, I have resided in Kitchener for 24 years, and the last 10, my Mother, soon to be 90 in October has lived with Me. I have fond memories of our childhood times together. Take very good care, and I am sorry for your losses this year. Marc - Posted by: Marc P. Stanley () on: Jul 18, 2014

Dear Grant and Jan: We are so sad to hear of the passing of your parents and so grateful it was in the Winnipeg paper. Auntie Ruth Gray was the one who kept in touch with family and when she passed away all was lost. Do you remember when Grandad Gray, Auntie Ruth and I visited your family in Oakville in 1971? I remember you kids so well. Of course you aren't kids anymore! Bruce's Mom, Peggy, passed away a few years ago at the age of 96. Your parents got to know Peg, Jack and the boys, Bruce and Glen very well when they all lived in Kelowna. The only Gray left from our branch is Auntie Florence Yakel who celebrated her 94th birthday a few months ago. She was the feisty Gray girl and still is!! If ever you are in Winnipeg, you would be most welcomed. You have our email address. Your Mom and Dad's life was truly a 'love story'. God bless and keep you in His tender loving care. Sincerely, Bruce and Ellen Bancroft. - Posted by: Bruce and Ellen Bancroft (Second cousin to Jane.) on: May 05, 2014
