Dear Susan, Colleen & John, Christian & Dyan, Extending heartfelt sympathies in the passing of your Mom and Grandma. Auntie Cathie always held a special place in my heart, always will. Through my elementary years I had the joy of many 'lunch overs' at Auntie Cathie's on Oakland. Every birthday card she sent me was signed, "Love Yogi", as in Yogi Bear, except the year I turned 14, then card was signed "Love Dreamboat". What a hoot! My girls have fond memories too, she would give them a little smack on their bums to say hello :) I loved her sense of humor and the twinkle in her eyes that lit up her face!! I treasure my memories as I know you all will too. Our prayers are with you. Sorry we cannot be physically present on the 22nd, but we will join you in our hearts in the celebration of her life. Much love from our clan: Lisa & James Gilbank Meghan & Tyler Bargen, Jude and Nori Zoë & Tyler Stefaniuk, Kenton and Laina Jenna Gilbank Aislinn & Jason Machushyk - Posted by: Lisa Gilbank (nee McLeod) (Neice) on: Aug 19, 2015
