CORRIGAN: Breanne Kathleen Corrigan passed away in the presence of her family, on Monday September 4th, 2006. Breanne was born March 15th, 1990, a little sister to Brayden. When Breanne was diagnosed with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy like her big brother, doctors offered an experimental treatment that had shown some initial positive results. Breanne had a bone marrow transplant at Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg in July 1992. After a recovery period, Breanne enjoyed the things all little girls do. She especially enjoyed dancing, school and playing with friends and her little sister, Marissa. Unfortunately MLD took control of her body and after grade one, Breanne spent most of her time at home with her family. These were quieter times filled with movies and stories and lots of laughter. During Breanne’s battle, many very special people entered her life. Breanne’s family will be eternally grateful for their support, as we would not have endured this journey without each and every one of you. We define heroes in many ways; Breanne will always be our hero for her dignity and courage. We will miss our little princess with the smile from ear to ear. Breanne was predeceased by big bother Brayden in 1997, uncle Heavy, grandma Kathleen Corrigan and great grandmothers Evelyn MacDonald and Verna McGregor. She is survived by parents, Stacey and Mike, little sister Marissa and grandparents Mel and Micki McGregor, as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins. A service of remembrance was held at the Brockie Donovan Chapel on September 7, 2006 at 2:30 p.m. with Mike Waddell officiating. Interment followed at the Brandon Cemetery.

CHAPMAN: Shirley Mae Chapman, of Belfield Farm, Brandon, Manitoba, loving wife, mother and grandmother, passed away peacefully, at the Assiniboine Centre on Sunday, June 25, 2006.
Shirley was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, May 26, 1927, to the late Jack and Flora Moulton. As a young lady, she served as the executive secretary to the Admiral of the Royal Canadian Navy. On July 3, 1976, in Brandon, she married a wonderful person, Robert S. Chapman, and embraced the rural community when she relocated to Belfield Farm by Kirkham's Bridge. There, Shirley was an active member of a caring group of people dedicated to better living through healthy and nutritional foods which blended well with her joy of cooking and gardening. Her cookie jar was always full. Being a cat lover all her life, the farm also provided an ample supply of furry friends. During her later years she experienced respiratory problems which limited her movement and ability to speak. This didn't stop her as she acquired a computer, discovered the Internet and found a communication path to her family and friends through the use of email. Even when reading became difficult, she found a way to read by getting large print books. Her spirit remained undaunted and shone through in spite of her limitations. Shirley will live on in memory through her husband, Robert S. Chapman; their children, John T. Chapman, his wife Karean, their daughters Mikayla Shae, and Shayna Brooke of Saratoga, California; Rob Chapman, his wife Alida, their three children, Amanda, Kevin, and Marissa of Edmonton, Alberta; Susan Linto, her husband Terry, their sons Ross and Ryan of Brandon, Manitoba; her sister, Carol Von Syberg of Halifax, Nova Scotia; her nephews and nieces in Halifax, Nova Scotia; and her two cats Cindy and Tommy. Shirley was
predeceased by her brother Dick Moulton. The family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to the nurses and staff of the Assiniboine Centre and ICU, for all of their loving care and support over
the years. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Brandon Regional Health Centre
Foundation, "Respiratory Unit", 150 McTavish Avenue East, Brandon, MB R7A 2B3.

CANCADE: It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Joseph Peter Cancade on Saturday, June 17, 2006 at the age of 94. Dad was born in Finley, MB in 1912 and was the youngest of eight children born to Regis and Marie Cancade. He attended school at Grand Clairiere, Virden and Belleview, MB. At the early age of 14, Dad decided he preferred working full-time with his brother Pete, than in continuing with school. With his God given mechanical ability, he began working in the shop, learning to repair Model T cars, and eventually expanding his interest to fixing and working with all things mechanical. On September 14, 1939, Dad married Bertha and together they built their first home in Belleview. By this time, his brother Pete decided that Dad was essential to the growth of the business and made him a partner. Dad always appreciated the confidence that his brother Pete had shown him. In 1946, they moved the business, Cancade Brothers Ltd. to Brandon, MB. Later, the business was renamed Cancade & Co., which continues to manufacture truck bodies and accessories today. Dad loved making and fixing all types of machinery, both for his business and for others who would come to him with special problems. His amazing problem solving ability was sought out by his own children in business or in home situations. It is in this way that Dad showed his deep love for his family. Dad also extended his charity to the community, particularly to St. Augustine’s Church where he joined the Knights of Columbus and was honored to become a lifetime member. Dad will be greatly missed by his children, Anita Armstrong, Judy, Edward (Sue), Raymond (Wanda Nadjiwon), Francis and special friend Teresa Henderson and Gisele McLachlan; his grandchildren: Randy (Kahori) Armstrong, Kevin (Kristin) Armstrong, Melanie and Jeffrey Cancade, Nonnie (Caroline), Randa, Breanne, Charity, Melody and Sheldon Cancade, Erin, Julie and Steven Cancade, Christopher and Jason McLachlan as well as great grandchildren. Many friends, nephews and nieces will also miss his presence particularly Suzie and Paul (Yvette) Cancade who have been part of our close family network in Brandon. Dad was predeceased by his parents, Regis & Marie Cancade, all his brothers and sisters, his son, Arthur and grandson, Arthur. Prayers and the Mass of Christian Burial were held at St. Augustine’s Roman Catholic Church, Brandon, MB on June 21 and June 22 respectively. Interment followed at Rosewood Memorial Gardens.
