I remember Mrs Drysdale fondly! She was one of the ladies my parents employed to care for us when we lived in Winnipeg. She was larger than life. We moved away from Winnipeg when I was 7 or 8 and came back when I was 15. The first person I wanted to see was Mrs Drysdale. We paid her a visit, that must have been in 1979 or 1980. She was so tiny but so loving. To this day her memory lives in my heart. I have four children, one daughter and can you guess her name....Hannah Gilmore. - Posted by: Lisa Fraser (Hannah looked after me when I was little. ) on: Aug 19, 2014

"Little Grandma" was an amazing woman, who must have lived an adventurous life because she always had stories to tell us. I miss her deeply but I know she is an angel watching over me everyday, love you Hannah!!! - Posted by: Cecile Marshall (granddaughter) on: Apr 20, 2013
