Dad and Mom's 65th Wedding Anniversary
celebration, January 30, 2009
L to R: Geordan, James, Beth, Mom, Dad, Steve (Hankinson family)
The Freeman and Brown families owe a great debt to the
Hankinson family. The whole Hankinson family (especially Beth) took care
of Mom (and Dad) during the many years they lived in retirement
in Vancouver.
We are grateful to you Beth, Steve,
Geordan and James!
To the right
is the slideshow Steve Hankinson put together
for viewing before and after Oma’s memorial service. It’s 8 ½
minutes long with pictures spanning Mom’s life (not in
chronological order) – Steve Freeman found the picture of Mom
being baptized in the Red River, Manitoba at age 12 by her Dad
(Gerhard Schroeder) about 24 hours before the service on
Monday – that is the prized picture in our opinion as it
figured largely into Mom’s eulogy (in her own words) and in a
short testimony we have on tape that Mom gave at a Schroeder
family reunion in 1976. There is no music on this YouTube
piece due to copyright laws. You'll have to hum -->
