You can be sure of one thing though: store closures.

She was a strong lady and very healthy so it came as a surprise. I miss visiting Lethbridge.

They sufferd the curse of my Grandma. She slipped and fell on a wet floor there and subsequently died from a blood clot. We never even received an apology.
