Many people made this difficult task a bit easier for us. A big thank you to our daughters, who once again made time in their busy lives to support us, as did Kate’s fiancé Kevin. Emma even negotiated with her new employer, Queens University, to start her job as a Palliative Care specialist in September rather than July. And Kate and Kevin allowed us to “gift” them with lots of our stuff that was looking for a good home!
Christine’s brother Rick and his lovely partner Jen also deserve a shout out, as they made time in their demanding schedules to come out to Red Lake to help us paint (Jen is a pro!) and tidy up the yard. And a special thank you and miigwiich to Donna Williams. Christine and Donna have been friends since they worked together at Keewaytinook Okimakanak (Northern Chiefs) 21 years ago, but Christine only learned this summer that Donna’s superpowers include house staging AND the generosity to loan us exactly what we needed to make the house look perfect.
