• Dear Tammy, Jack, Debbie and family, I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of your beloved mother and grandmother. Our families were close friends for many decades, and I remember our many car trips out to Portage la Prairie to visit all of you. Your parents rolled out the red carpet on every visit, and we loved our time together. Your mother was a marvellous cook and delighted in preparing the most delicious and lavish meals for us. Our mothers shared a beautiful friendship for more than 70 years. On countless occasions, they regaled us about their summer jobs at Swift’s Meat Packers while students at the U of M - my mother cracked thousands of eggs which would be dried and processed for powdered egg mixtures, and your mother ironed wax paper to ensure perfect packing conditions for the company’s meat sales. Imagine doing those jobs for 4 months every summer - fortunately, they had each other for support. After your parents moved to Winnipeg, your mother joined my mother’s bridge club, and quickly became one of the “girls.” This group of 12 bright and extremely accomplished women played bridge weekly for more than 60 years, and their devotion and mutual love became legendary. Your parents were extraordinary people and together they exemplified love, respect, kindness and generosity. I send all of you my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beautiful mother, Mavis Rabkin. May her memory always be a blessing. - Posted by: Hope Springman (Family friend) on: Feb 11, 2023
