Thinking of you all at this time of sorrow. I never truly knew the meaning of I miss you until I reached out for my mother’s hand and it wasn’t there anymore. Dementia robs us all but know she is in a better place now comfortable and resting. From all of us, Rick & Heinz, take care from Maggie , Don , Kristopher Brincheski and my sister Joanne Johnston.

Marj helped anyone she could. When I last saw her in Pinawa hospital, she would be pushing the wheel chairs of patients that could not get around. She loved music and would dance when she heard a happy song. She had a good soul, and went above and beyond as a Home Care Attendant. My condolences to her family and friends.

My sincere condolences to Rick & Heinz. Marg was a most wonderful human being! I am not sure how many Bingos she sent a Pinawa crew into Wpg for the ski club. It was always fun! I curled in the Jam Can with a few times! I won a cash prize from a Grey Cup Ticket for Whitemouth group once realizing Mark had sold me the ticket. A very amazing volunteer and a true friend.

I am so sorry for your loss Mr. Ehlers. My dad Arnold was in the Pinawa Hospital with Marj. She was a very sweet woman who always gave me a hug when I came to visit my dad. I didn’t know Marj before she came to the hospital but she sure sounds like an extradentary woman from all the messages I have read. Take care.
