Gaye, Mike, Doug, Kathy:

We were saddened to hear about our Aunt Mac's passing. We will always remember with fondness the family get-togethers at the farm, the summer picnics, chokecherry picking, Christmas celebrations and the games (especially crokinole) after dinner, and all the fun times we had when the families got together.
Know that we are thinking of you...

Patti Zazulak (Vancouver), Bev Cuzner (Saskatoon), Sharon Sykes (Hong Kong)
