Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • Dear Gary and Family, so saddened to hear of your beloved Maura's passing. We remember her as a bight spark in our lives, a very joyful, talented and loving woman. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Frank and Lynda - Posted by: Frank and Lynda Pisa (Friends) on: Jun 18, 2020

  • Moira and I were neighbours for a few years while they lived in their log home in Manitoba. We were born on the same day and year and she always called us Gypsy Spirit Sisters. She was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. Beautiful, kind, and so talented, and always surrounded by her young children. Much of our time together was spent laughing...I am very sad to read she has passed. Condolences to Gary and all her children. - Posted by: Gerrie (Neighbour many years ago) on: Jun 13, 2020
