Later in Brandon, she taught at several schools, David Livingston, King George, George Fitton and Park School. She retired from teaching in 1970 in Brandon. Grace was a very caring mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and a terrific aunt. She was so very proud of her two grandsons, Mark and Glen, and loved her trips to be with them in Campbell River and at Disneyland. Grace never judged, never uttered a cross word, was always supportive and encouraging and was so glad to hear of family news. She was truly a gentle woman. Family holidays spent with Ed, Glenda and family at their Clear Lake cottage were highlights and will be fondly remembered and remain as special times in everyone's hearts. Grace's friends at Hobb's Manor in Brandon held a special place in her heart. The family would like to especially thank the caring staff in Stations 2 and 3 at Tuxedo Villa for all their thoughtful attendance to Grace's needs over the last six years. In accordance with Grace's wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family service will be held at a later date.

Roy Johnstone
December 13, 2001
ROY HARVEY JOHNSTONE (JOHNNY) 1928 - 2001 Roy joined his departed loved ones at Riverview on December 10, 2001. He was predeceased by his parents, Roy and Violet Johnstone and sister Glennis. Left to enjoy wonderful memories are his wife Helen; son Robert; daughter Nikol Wendy and his granddaughter Mickenzie; brother Norman and his wife Donna; many nieces and nephews, especially Norma and Sharon who were filled with love for their uncle "Harvey" and many close friends. Roy was a William Avenue boy, brought up with a barn in the backyard and teams of his dad's horses. Roy started to work in the fish sheds when trains of fish would go to Chicago and New York. This was when he met the love of his life, Helen. Roy would phone in the order to the C.P.R. telegraphs, Helen was a phone operator. They were married in 1961 in Winnipeg. Roy's next venture was the moving industry. Roy and two friends became partners in Portage Cartage & Storage. How proud Roy was, along with Victor, John and Beven, as it grew and became successful. What comical memories of the three being "jack of all trades" as they booked, packed and moved the furniture themselves. Family was so important to Roy. The joining of older members of the family to his beloved son and daughter around the table at holiday times were fun times. Roy was member of Ancient Landmark Lodge # 3 A.F.& A.M., Prince Rupert Chapter, R.A.M. #1 and the Khartum Temple, A.A.O.N.M.S. In the spring of 2000, Roy was given the honor of receiving a medal for 50 years as a Mason. Roy and Helen loved to travel and were happiest when planning a trip. The white caddy took them to sunny places. Then they became family members of McPhail Travel who Barbara and Muriel guided them through the wonders of Australia. Roy would advise people to travel now not wait till they retired. Travelling with the Flag Patrol brought more memories with trips to Hawaii, Mexico but most of all, to the Icelandic Festivals at Gimli. To the angels of 3E at Riverview, the family give heartfelt thanks for their compassionate care. They sang, danced, told him funny stories and gave him such loving care. As they entered the room he always had a broad smile and "how are you". You will always have a special place in our hearts. Our thanks also for their concern over Helen. Our special thanks also to the faithful friends who made his stay more tolerable. Funeral service will be held at Thomson Funeral Chapels, 669 Broadway, at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, December 15. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made in Roy's memory to Palliative Care, Riverview Health Centre, 1 Morley Ave., or Shriners Hospital for Children, 1529 Cedar Ave., Montreal, PQ, H3G 1A6.
