Our family extends a warm thank you to Father Gene Maximiuk, Cropo Funeral Chapel, Dr. Richard Lindenschmidt, and all the staff at Red River Extended Care & Woodlands Court.
In lieu of flowers, for those who wish, donations would be appreciated by the family to be made to Holy Trinity Cathedral, 1175 Main Street, Winnipeg, MB R2W 3S4.
