Well, as you can guess, I'm Elodie, the "baby" of the family (or at least that's who I was the last time my Mother introduced me to someone in 2007). I would like to thank everyone who participated at Mom's funeral, it was great to see everyone and hopefully we can get the word out to even the most obscure relatives and friends that Mom kept in touch with about the site. Chad, thank you for setting this up for us, I think it will prove to be a real lifeline.
We are currently living in Virden Manitoba, Box 1299 R0M 2C0. I work at the Co-Op bakery/deli, Garry is with Manitoba Hydro in Brandon and commutes. Our daughter Lacey lives in Gillam, Manitoba where her husband Ryan works with ...Manitoba Hydro. Their son Dominick was born October 1, 2006 and is all boy. Lacey and Dominick spent a month here at home, after Christmas as Ryan was in Hydro schools in The Pas finishing his millwrights.
Our son Greg is 15 and his current love and passion is basketball. The mother of one of his school friends asked me in November if Greg was excited about Basketball season starting. I had to ask her dumbly, "When did it end?" Greg plays regular season here in Virden until April, then, there's Spring league in Brandon until June. July is Bobcat camp at the Brandon U, and the one at the Neelin high school in Brandon, and August is Legion camp in the Peace Gardens. That leaves just about enough time to once again go the Brandon, for the required school supplies...new basketball jerseys!
I have just spent 10 days with Dad, he seems to be doing fine. Really missing Mom tho'. Anyone who has a moment, maybe drop him a line. Other than family and a friend that picks him up for church, he doesn't see or talk to anyone. Unfortunatly, I don't think we'll be able to bring him into the computer age, it's still old-fashioned Canada Post. Anyone who has cared for an elderly person realizes quick that the mail is an all-imortant time of day.
Hope to see more people on here soon. Bye for now.

"Baby"...... I know exactly how you feel. If I remember correctly, the last time I was referred to as the baby was on my last trip up to Gillam. Which was last year in January. So, basically, what you're saying is that mom isn't going to stop with that.....
