I remember your Mother as a woman of strength and honor. I met her when I was a girl of 16 and I was struck by the connectedness that you shared as a family ........... she was so very proud of you all. I return to Winnipeg often as my parents are still in Fort Richmond ; each time that I pass by the home that you shared, I smile and remember with fondness. My thoughts are with you -- thank you, Garth, for calling my parents; they were thrilled to talk to you. - Posted by: Yvonne Buchanan-Sedun (Family) on: Jan 03, 2008
