Our sympathy to the family and friends of Walter Smith of Shawville who passed away last week.
Our sympathy to the family and friends of Mildred Thomas of Midland, Ont. who passed away at the age of 94. Mildred was formerly from Bristol, Que. Mildred’s sister, Rita Harias of Pembroke, Ont. called us to let us know.
Last Sunday, at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Ladysmith the baptism of Lillian Grace Pasch took place. Lillian’s parents are Julie and Tyler and her grandparents are Marjorie and Desi Pasch. Rev. Lam was the presiding minister and Roy Bretzlaff was the organist. Marlene Pasch had decorated the church and it looked lovely. There was a delicious luncheon following the ceremony.

My niece Shelley of Rankin, Ont. and I had our plant and garage sale. Shelley sold a lot of plants and I got a lot of items sold from my shed. Shelley gave me a lot of plants which I have to get busy and get planted. But I want to be sure the frost is past.
On May 28, I took another nosebleed and had to go to the hospital. They packed it again and I had to go back the next day to have it taken out. I had an appointment with my own doctor last Wednesday and he changed my medication. Hopefully this will solve the problem.
This week is starting out to be rainy which will be good for planting and for the farmers’ crops.
Last Wednesday, Marie Gauthier and I went to play cards in Danford Lake. It was Marie’s birthday. Some people from the Golden Age Club in Otter Lake usually attend and then some come from Danford Lake to ours in Otter Lake. Marie enjoyed her birthday playing cards with friends and relatives in Danford Lake.
Happy birthday to Kim Cluff who celebrates on June 7, to Michael Hodgins on June 8, to Viola Bretzlaff on June 9, to Brittany Tubman on June 10, to Sharron Hodgins on June 11 and to Darlene Broullette on June 11.
Happy anniversary to Mary Lou and Barry Draper who celebrate on June 11 and to Angela and Michael Hitz on June 12.
Anyone having any news give me a call at 819-647-5304.
