JEANNE & FRED BRANCH

The Triffo family Christmas party was held at Barry and Jean’s on December 11th, with many local Triffos attending.  Jeanne & Fred spent time over at Jackie & Wayne’s for Christmas and for Easter.  Easter was a real treat because the “next generation” did all the cooking for everyone.  (No Chris, I don’t mean Star Trek Next Generation – calm down.  I mean Jackie’s kids.)  This really has been the newsletter for hospital reports.  Fred was in hospital early in March for an inguinal hernia repair.  Jeanne has been very busy with tax time again.  She and Jackie were happy to report that they won contests for promoting new lottery tickets and their booth was one of the top for sales of the new tickets in the province.

Terry and Judy were very happy to report that Judy had her last chemo treatments in mid-March.  She wasn’t even sick at all for the last couple of treatments and she is looking forward to life getting back to normal again.  She went back to work in April and could hardly wait to get started again.  On the first weekend in April, Terry, Judy and 18 other friends took a long snowmobile trip to Pilote Point Lodge for a fun weekend.

They have two snowmobiles now so they each had their own for the trip.  They left a friend to look after Danny and Shelby.  Terry gets 6 weeks vacation this summer and is enjoying planning all the trips in the motorhome.

Danny celebrated his 12th birthday on March 17th.

Judy is going to be a Team Captain in the “Relay for Life” cancer fundraiser taking place in Yellowknife in June.  After the battle she has had with breast cancer, she felt it was time to take a more active role in raising money for this very worthy cause.  She has set a goal of raising $2000 and is looking for support from family and friends to help her give cancer the boot!  Anyone reading this who is interested in helping, please make a cheque out to the Canadian Cancer Society and mail it to:

Judy Triffo
206 Magrum Cr.
Yellowknife, NWT
X1A 3W2

She will add it to her pledge sheet and turn it in.  The sender will get a receipt from the Cancer Society.  She needs to have all donations no later than May 23rd, 2005. 

Lets all support her as much as we can!
