Hard to believe it’s been 20 years. It seems like yesterday. I thinks of Meme a lot, and always great memories at 433 Melrose Ave Transcona. I was in Transcona yesterday, the house is gone, but the memories are not. Meme’s best friend, MaryO, and I communicated by phone since Meme’s passing, and she’d always have a story and we’d laugh. When I called MaryO last February 2020, she had just passed. The two best friends are back together and laughing. I miss you - Posted by: Larry Martineau (Son) on: Jan 06, 2021

It has been 15 years since the passing of my beloved mother and I miss her as much today as I did then. - Posted by: Cecile martineau (Daughter) on: Dec 06, 2015
