You may not remember me, Irene, but for me it seems like yesterday that we were children and neighbours on Alexander Avenue where we lived and for you I believe it was Tecumseh Avenue. I often think of people when I am playing on my computer or when I mentally reminisce about the 'good old days' and this is exactly what happened this evening. Imagine my surprise when I found the obituary of your Mom on line. My sincere sympathy at the loss of your beloved mother. I still recall that your father was a barber and that you had a white dog named Cookie. And of course, brother Gordie. Such beautiful memories of growing up in my beloved Winnipeg. I have lived in BC since 1971 but Manitoba will always have a special place in my heart. Such sweet memories and your family are a part of them. I am so happy to be able to say 'hello' to you. God's Blessings. - Posted by: Shirley (Bukoske) Eppler (Childhood friend) on: Mar 05, 2015

I lived across the street from Jean before she moved from Ottawa Ave. I have missed seeing her every day, always with a new story. She was an amazing lady with an incredible life. My deepest condolences to the family - Posted by: Raymond MacIsaac (Neighbour) on: Dec 30, 2013
