Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

It is with great sadness that I write this letter of condolence. It is so hard for me to think of losing Inez so suddenly. She was a strong personality and a great influence on me and many others in ITC. I enjoyed her company, her great sense of humour and her dedication to what ever job she took on. We could always depend on Inez to do a great job. She was always interested in parliamentary procedure and very enthusiastic about learning. My deepest sympathy to all of her family and friends and especially her dear friend Yoon kim. - Posted by: Colleen Graves (Friend) on: Feb 17, 2005

I have many happy memories of the hours we spent together in both Fort Garry Chapter #17 and Job's Daughters. As you begin your life on High may the Good Lord hold you in the palm of His hand. - Posted by: Valeria Cowie (Friend) on: Feb 04, 2005
