I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Easter with their families. We started our Easter Sunday with a beautiful service at Wesley United Church, and there was a great crowd out to celebrate. It was so lovely to see such a big group of children in attendance, and they enjoyed an Easter Sunday School lesson and a fun egg hunt outside. Later that day, we had a delicious family dinner at my sister and brother-in-law’s, followed by watching the first game of the Sens vs. Leafs playoff series. The game didn’t go the way our Sens-loving family hoped, but we still had a terrific day, filled with yummy treats and many blessings.
Heartfelt condolences are with the family of Nicole Proulx Beaudoin, as she passed away on Apr. 13. We are thinking of her husband Norman, children Kathie, Krissie, Jennie, John, and all of her loved ones at this sad time.
Deepest sympathy is with the loved ones of Mike Boucher, as we were sorry to hear he passed on Apr. 15. Thoughts and prayers are with his wife Gail, daughter Kim, and all of his family and friends. Mike was well known in our community for his musical talent, his special touches at Kim and Gail’s store, Boutique Bronson, but above all, his love and devotion for his family. He will be dearly missed.
Birthday wishes are going out to Pryor Thomson on Apr. 25, and to Jennifer McBane on the 29th. Best wishes to all who are celebrating special occasions this week.
