Meredith and I didn't hang out with the same crowd after school, but I remember her as being a very positive, dedicated, hard working, smart student in Grade 12, and I also remember her as always being a really good person. Maybe a couple of years ago, it was Meredith who brought many of us from the 1974 Grade 12 MBCI graduating class together 'virtually' in a Facebook group, which I'll always appreciate. My sincerest condolences to her husband, Jim, her immediate and extended family, her many friends, and her colleagues. She passed away much too soon, and will be missed! - Posted by: Randy Penner (We were in the same 1974 Grade 12 MBCI graduating class in The Pas, Manitoba.) on: Jul 25, 2015
