    I have so many fond memories of Mrs. Parsons coming into the post office….usually always to get her phone card and she would stand and chat with me awhile between customers. I missed seeing her when she moved but always asked her son how she was doing. She was a true delight to chat with. My sincerest condolences to her family and friends

    Very sorry to hear of my Gram’s passing. I have so many fond memories of visiting Beeton during the summer when Jenny and I were kids… playing in the pool, hanging out with Julie and Chris, going on outings… but most of them revolve around simply chatting with Gram in the kitchen (Grampa wasn’t the most talkative guy). And pie! Gram made the best pie.

    Love you Gram, we’ll miss you.

    Wonderful memories of our teaching days in Base Borden. Olga & I shared some crazy, fun times and I am so glad that we relived some of these experiences just a few weeks on the phone. Was great to hear her laugh as we recalled these times, including our many, many bridge games. She was always so thankful for all the TLC she received from Lyle, Louise & family.
