Our sympathies to the Hickey family, as Jimmy Hickey passed away earlier this month. He had been living out west in recent years, but many in the community remember him well. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of his siblings and friends at this sad time.
Congratulations to Brook (Welburn) and Mathieu Lacroix on the arrival of their baby boy on May 13. They named him Luc Léo Patrick, and he is a little brother for Rurik. Proud grandparents are Denny and Shelley Welburn, and Bob and Angele Lacroix. Wishing the whole family all the best.
On Saturday evening, Gavan’s Hotel was the place to be as a Stag & Doe was held in honour of Michael McCann and Hailey Berube. Their wedding party organized a fun evening to celebrate the happy couple as their wedding day quickly approaches. Best wishes to Michael and Hailey as they continue to plan for their big day.
Sunday afternoon, my mom, sister, and I, along with my cousin Patti, headed to the Community Hall in Beckwith Township for a bridal shower in honour of Tara Bullard. Tara is the daughter of Patty Bullard and step-daughter to Scott Young. It was a lovely afternoon of celebration, with a delicious luncheon, games, and many gifts for the bride-to-be. We are looking forward to Tara and Connor’s wedding day in June.
