My thoughts and prayers go out to you Diane(Dave) and George(Julie) at this time of sorrow. My 1st trip to Vancouver in ’74, was spend with Margaret, George and visiting with Diane and Dave. I remember sleeping on the couch with a big grandfather clock next to me. I can say I didn’t get much sleep that night. We were up at 3:30am to get ready to drive down to the ferry dock in Vancouver to get the 1st ferry over to the island where Di and Dave camped. Margaret was a great lady and we had some great laughs. She loved her bingo and was good at winning at it. That was my only trip out west but I hope to get out there again and reconnect with my relatives.

Prayers and thoughts go out to you all Diane(Dave) & family, and George(Julie) and family. Aunt Margaret loved her BINGO nights both in BC and over the border in Seattle, Wash. She was lucky most of the times. I remember my 1st trip out west in ’74, when I stayed with them overnight and slept on their couch. Their grandfather clock was right beside the couch, and chimed every hour that night. We were up at 4am to catch a ferry over to the island where Di & Dave were finishing their camping holiday. We had a great time and Margaret was the apple of George Sr. eye even then. Now they are together once more Love to all
