As you know, my oldest sister Jeanne Bourassa Delanoy passed away yesterday so I was really a little out of sorts today and didn't do much of anything, ...also because of the rainy day.
After rummaging through a lot of old photos I decided to do this small tribute to Jeanne. I don't really have any material at hand to give you a chronological rundown as I would have liked so we will have to do mostly with the pictures themselves.
Jeanne was one of 3 children born to my father and his first wife, Evelyne Galarneau, who passed away from pneumonia. Mainly they were brought up by the Grandparents and relatives. After 8 years, my father remarried Yvonne Bourassa who was barely older than these children.
Jeanne married Gerard Delanoy and together they had 6 boys and one girl. One son, Maurice, passed away at a young age from leukemia.
The family lived on a farm in the Lacadia district for all those years and it is still farmed by one of the sons.
I believe Jeanne was born in 1926 or so, making her 91 years of age. She had been residing in the Marian Home in Radville, Sask for many years since the passing of Gerry and had been bedridden for many of those years.
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day’s excitement.
Cheers, Al
