She leaves to mourn her passing and to cherish her memory, her son Robert (Pat); three grandchildren, Jackie (Angus Ito) of Vancouver, J.P.

She was predeceased by her husband, Ubald in 1947; her parents, Joseph and Leona (nee Sierens); her sisters, Edna Williams and Anna Buydens, and her four brothers, Desire, Charles, August and Victor Vassart. Marie was affectionately known as "Granny" not only to her three grandchildren but also to her extended family and friends. She embraced people with an open heart, touching all with her amazing gifts, her baking delicious cookies with love, sewing socks and buttons with precision, creating beautiful knits and quilts with creativity and flair, planting row upon row of blooming plants and flowers with her green thumb, picking blueberries for the perfect pie, writing a lovely letter to those far from home, teaching card games and sharing stories over a good cup of tea. Even as her body began to fail her, she remembered her youth, summers at the lake and longtime friends. No matter how we remember Granny, it will be memories filled with life, laughter and love. The family wishes to thank the dedicated and compassionate staff and volunteers at the Tache Centre for the excellent care given to Granny. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Father Lucien Roy at the Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church, 252 Dubuc St. in St. Boniface on Saturday, June 12 at 1:00 p.m. Private interment of Marie's cremated remains will take place in the family plot with her husband, Ubald, Mariapolis Parish Cemetery, Mariapolis, MB.

June 10, 2004
PATRICK A. J. METZGER It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Patrick Alfred Joseph Metzger on June 8, 2004 after a short courageous fight against a vicious cancer. Patrick will be lovingly missed by his wife Gloria and their children, Justin, Sean and Katherine.

He was predeceased by his parents Alfred and Helen Metzger; infant sister Marie-Rose and in-laws Bert and Marie Randall who were all waiting to welcome him in Heaven. Patrick was born in Mulhouse, France and came to Canada at the tender age of two. He was a man of strong convictions - "a what you see is what you get" - kind of guy. You always knew where you stood with Patrick, even if you didn't agree with him! He worked at several jobs over the years, meeting his wife Gloria while working at Vanguard Ind. They enjoyed almost 20 years together raising the kids and working for a better future. Patrick finally found his dream job in 1998 when he got his Class 1 license and began driving long-haul for Reimer Express. He loved the open road with miles to go and no-one looking over his shoulder! We will always see Patrick in the twinkle in Justin's eyes, in Sean's quick wit, and Daddy's little girl will never forget him or stop loving him. We beat the odds, honey, they said it would never last, but we did it! Till death do us part. Luv Ya!

FREDRICK MOORE
June 10, 2004
FREDRICK GEORGE MOORE On Sunday, June 6, 2004 at 9:30 p.m., after a long, hard struggle, Fred drew his last precious breath. He died peacefully at home, in his own bed as he had wished. Fred (Dudie) was born in Manigotagan on June 20, 1927 to George (Shorty) and Martha (Dottie) Moore. He was the first born of seven children, six who survived infancy. He is survived by his loving wife Sis; children, Freda (Cyril Genaille), Rick (Arlene), Steven Thomas, Marilyn Thomas and Kimberley (Curtis Moore); as well as his grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and siblings, Anne (Louis Dowie), Edna (John Simperl), Berneice (Gerry Herbst), Walter (Anna) and Georgetta (Jim Kirkness). Fred's heritage into a family of prospectors could not be denied. He became a diamond driller and began his lifelong love affair with the great outdoors, "God's Cathedral." He was not expecting a whole new life to unfold at the age of 50 when he was introduced to Sis in the shed row at Assiniboia Downs. It would be a year later that they began their life together in Kamloops and McLure, BC, then back to Manitoba: Fraserwood, Gimli and recently Winnipeg. Fred, at times, could be stubborn, obstinate, selfish and irresponsible, but he was more so loving, patient and easy going. He was young at heart and managed to teach his family about life in the bush and entertained us with his amazing ability to tell stories and jokes for hours - never the same one twice. His wonderful sense of humour and sometimes just plain orneriness would help carry him through twelve years of prostate cancer, emphysema and finally lung cancer. And who could ever forget the whistling... A memorial service will be held on Thursday, June 10 at 1:30 p.m. in the Worship Centre at Riverview Health Centre with Chaplain Theresa Campbell officiating. Refreshments will follow. Interment will take place at Traverse Bay, MB at a later date. Fred and Sis extend their deepest thanks to the angels who came into our lives on this journey; the staff at Riverview 3E, Mary Ashcroft and the Palliative Care Team for helping us spend the last six months at home, Chaplain Theresa Campbell, hospice volunteer Dwaine Gauthier, faithful friends and most especially to Dr. Janice Mulder.
