Auntie Mary, we miss you. I have so many childhood memories that make me smile when I think of family visits to your house in St. Vital. We have a social media called facebook, where I am getting to know your granddaughters, my second cousins, and my how sweet and gifted they all are. I remember how clean your house was and how Uncle Steve teased you about wearing out your couch from over- vacuuming not over use. I know, because of your faith and belief in Jesus, that you are in Heaven.... so I will see you again. - Posted by: Carol Ann Quesnel (Turko) (Niece) on: Apr 22, 2014
