Another sad event: Carman Sinclair

[cliff]

I am sad to hear that Ma Yappy has passed even though it is some time since her and I chatted through Messenger. Rest in Peace Carman and don't get up to anything with Geoff and Bob now will you!

Sad news also that Carman has passed, was wondering the other week if she was still going.

Hell! Another one gone.

Yappy's sister died from lung cancer as well, being a very heavy smoker like Yappy was.

Last time her and Geoff visited, she (and sometimes both) went out frequently to the deck to have a puff or two.

During their visit, while Geoff and I went riding about in my C15A, Carman and my wife had a girlie talk. Seems that a great deal of their break up situation revolved around the fact that Geoff could pay for a trip to Australia but would not finance her visit to Manitoba to attend her sister's funeral.

So, there's some background to the story.

Here's another picture I found of her while browsing through pictures on a back-up disk....

Hi Bob,

Her search for her uncle Eddy was what brought Carman here - this is her thread: Books photos about executed POWS June 1944

Geoff, Shawn and I visited Eddy Smith's grave when we were in Normandy and delivered Karmen's eulogy to Uncle Eddie.

I believe she rests in peace, partially because of what she learned about her uncle here on MLU - mostly through Mark's research and Geoff's support.
