Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

  • Dear Alvin and Edward, I am a former friend and next door neighbour of your mother's when she lived on Portage Avenue. I recall that she had handwritten her life story. On our occasional trips to Brandon, she would regale me with stories of her life. Has her manuscript ever been transcribed? If it has not, I would be delighted to do that. It is best to contact me by email, or to leave a voicemail on my phone - I have gotten into the habit of not picking up calls from anyone not in my contacts. Warmest regards, Dolores Lindsay 16-1815 Varsity Estates Drive NW Calgary, AB. T3B 3Y7 - Posted by: Dolores Lindsay (Friend and former neighbour) on: Jun 23, 2024
