Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • I am very sorry to hear about Johannes passing. I always enjoyed my time with her. She is now with the love of her life - Posted by: Linda Steckley (home care worker) on: Jun 08, 2015

  • I first met Auntie Johanne when I went out west at the age of 10 years on my own. There was a stopover in Winnipeg on the way to Regina and Aunt Johanne and Uncle Art picked me up for a short visit. I remember being taken to a horse ranch and being amazed at the cleanliness of the stable. For a 10 year old the stables must have been amazing. Aunt Johanne like the rest of her sister's was an amazing woman and she took care for Uncle Art to have a good diet when he had some health problems. - Posted by: Gail and Maurice Webster (niece) on: Jun 07, 2015
