A new Website!!

Look at the links on the left hand side of this page. There is one titled Help Vulnerable People. Please click and visit the site, sign the guest book and bear in mind that Domestic Abuse wrecks lives.

This is a real campaign to change the way that the Province of Manitoba handles the victims of Domestic Abuse because it is a crime in itself.

R.I.P., my beautiful Bride.

So this is it. there comes a time when you have to think again, and my time for this has arrived.

I lost my wife last week, on the 19th. I will post more, but the Obituary says what is needed, and that will do, selwyn.

I have a different job starting next week. Maybe it will be worth blogging, I don't know.

Alison Jane Menhenitt (Janey) aged 40, originally from Sittingbourne in Kent, UK, lately of Grunthal, passed away suddenly after an impossibly valiant battle on January 19th in St Boniface Hospital.

She is survived by her loving husband Rob and their son Michael, her mother, Jackie, brothers and sisters; Michael, Michelle, Stephen and Susan.

Janey was a wonderful, spirited and decent girl. She was the bravest of the brave who fought a lifetime of battles against ill health, and who never gave up the fight until God chose to take her home and end her suffering.

Janey always wanted to be a background helper. She was completely down to earth and accepted people for their worth as people, even if she was as stubborn as a mule and didn’t like them to know how much she cared.

Sadly, her health prevented her from working for long in Canada, where she chose to call home, although she always had ideas to try to be involved, and because she could not always get to the community, the community came to her. They became more family than friends and made her time here, with her battles and pain, more bearable, for herself as well as for her entire family.

She is missed so terribly, and we all have a hole in our hearts that the wind whistles through.

Her wish was that she be cremated, and a memorial service will be held on Friday January 28th at 4pm at the Birchwood Funeral Home, Steinbach.

If people would wish, in lieu of flowers, it would be a wonderful gesture to make donations for the Medical Surgical Intensive Care Unit Education Fund as they were incredibly good to Janey and to her family who were by her side at the end.

Special thanks have to go to the Cardiac Care Unit and the ICU, and to the friends and family, old and new, who supported and care so very much.

Arrangements entrusted to Birchwood Funeral Home, 150 Penfeld Drive, Steinbach, MB.
