Marian Tarnes - Moose Jaw, SK: Although I have known you for a mere four years I have many happy memories of our friendship.  Thank you for the times in your backyard, picking sweetpeas and filling the bird feeders.  And most of all, dear "fiddlin friend", thanks for the many musical times we shared.   The groups will miss you and we will continue to play your favourite selections.  I will always remember your gratitude for life and appreciation for nature.  I am confident that you will continue to make beautiful music in Heaven.  Marian
