Default That's a great photo

Thanks for posting it Hanno, as well as the other background. I'm sorry I never met her either.
And I'll try not to make a habit if being the bringer of bad news!

Keith and Hanno. Thank you for the posts.
Carman was a sole female voice on here, back then. I missed her when she left. Like Bob, I was often at the other end of the spectrum with her, Each of them added colour, and made an impact on our lives. It was nice to see a photo, and finally put faces to names. They are missed.

Sad news indeed, I just don't know what to say.

A great lady, and whilst she and geoff parted on a rather terse basis, she was and rightly so very concerned about the direction their life was taking.

She was a caring soul and it was a shame when the end came. Was the receiver of many kind acts from her and the world is not the same without her.

Too much sadness may the Lord safely hold her in his arms.

I am sad to hear that Ma Yappy has passed even though it is some time since her and I chatted through Messenger. Rest in Peace Carman and don't get up to anything with Geoff and Bob now will you!

Hell! Another one gone.

Yappy's sister died from lung cancer as well, being a very heavy smoker like Yappy was.

Last time her and Geoff visited, she (and sometimes both) went out frequently to the deck to have a puff or two.

During their visit, while Geoff and I went riding about in my C15A, Carman and my wife had a girlie talk. Seems that a great deal of their break up situation revolved around the fact that Geoff could pay for a trip to Australia but would not finance her visit to Manitoba to attend her sister's funeral.

So, there's some background to the story.
