Condolence From: Andy Ormiston
Condolence: I just heard about this last month. I am so sorry and send my condolences to Joanna, Jim and the family. I knew Missy from grade 9 right through high school where she twice represented us at Skills Canada-Manitoba and did us proud. I remember that she would always want to sneak Joanna onto the bus when we went on school field trips. I am sorry she eventually left our profession for the railroad, but I do understand why she did. My thoughts are with the Heins family.
