Thank you Mr. Macdonald for circling the lake 13 times in order to get me up on water skis !!
You never gave up on me! I will remember that always!
The twinkle in your eye and your awesome sense of humour will never be forgotten.
God Bless, Monika

my Uncle Vince was one of those special types of people- the ones with a sparkle in their eye and an energy that resonated in all that they did. I fished from his cottage dock, he teased me about eating the holes out of doughnuts, made a large production of writing on my mom's kitchen calendar to "call Vince" to make sure that they got together again soon, he and Millie took myself and my 2 brothers on a few weekends in big "Toronto" which we enjoyed immensely (my parents must have welcomed the break as well) and he danced with me at my wedding. He was always there in my life and I'm so sad that we have lost him- he was very loved and he will be greatly missed- love you Uncle Vince

I'll always remember Vince's sense of fun and fellowship. He always had a joke to share when I visited the MacDonald cottage, often gathering before a night out with Marianne and the bakery girls. Big hugs to Millie, Marianne and the girls. Vince's spirit will live on in every corny joke shared around your table.
