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
