I extend my condolences on Mona's passing. I became acquainted with her in the purchase and sale of their Beausejour, Mb. home. I enjoyed her recollections of growing up in England with all the "silver spoon" frills and then the transition to Canada with the culture shocks she encountered and overcame. I hope her last years were pleasant and she was able to appreciate the pleasures of family interaction. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. - Posted by: Beverley PASESKA (Family) on: Apr 07, 2010
