I've been thinking about this "ole` gal" for a few days now and so decided to do a search in Winnipeg Free Press Obituaries. Every Sunday Mum and Dad (Charlotte and Fred) would pick her up for St. Anthony's BINGO night. Sadly we lost Mum on January 01, 2001 to ALS. Sorry for your loss albeit over one year late. I'm not sure how I missed her post because I receive the obits every morning in my emails for many years now. Deepest sympathies.
