joined her cousins Anna
O'Donnell and Joyce McKay,
Stratford and Donna Gatenby,
Kitchener, at the home of
hostess Anne Frances. Marie
Sutherland from Woodstock
was co -hostess.
Anne was presented with a
bouquet of cut flowers. Cousin
'Beth McEwen', who passed
away in August, was greatly
missed and was remembered
over morning coffee.
Dinner reservations were
made at Doreen Skinners
where a most delicious roast
duck dinner was served. Marie
said a very touching prayer and
remembrance for Beth at
dinner to which all cousins
responded. The afternoon was
spent back at Anne's apartment
with an exchange of gifts and
chit-chat.
Anne presented a cup and
saucer of Beth's to each
cousin. They will be a special
remembrance.
A light evening meal was
served by Anne and Marie.
After a farewell to all until
Spring of '96 at cousin Joyce
McKay's, everyone departed
for home. It was another super
'cousins reunion'.
