Our sympathy to the family and friends of Jim Stanley who passed away last week at the age of 73 years. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Our sympathy to the family and friends of Arthur Hein of Eganville, Ont. who passed away Jan. 8 at the age of 58 years of a massive heart attack. Art was our daughter Susan’s boyfriend. Art had chest pains all day but kept on working. In the evening he decided to go to the hospital and he died on the way, in the ambulance. I guess when you have chest pain it is important to get help as soon as possible.
We had another cold weekend which made it unpleasant to go out. Last week’s rain really took down the snow and caused a lot of icy conditions. I guess the snowmobilers have poor trails. I have not seen any driving past our place this winter yet.
There are a lot of colds going around and also the flu. I have been going to the CLSC in Fort Coulonge every second day to have the ulcer on my foot dressed and it sure is a busy place with families and their sick kids. We had the flu shot in the fall so maybe it will help us.
