Red Carpet Marker

For many years a striking red carpet rolled majestically down the centre isle of Fort Garry United’s sanctuary. 

After many years of services, celebrations and events, parts and pieces of the carpet began to show the wear of use.

I recall my mother taking action to caringly address this.

Kneeling over threadbare areas, marker in hand, she carefully and artistically coloured the floor underneath to preserve

the beautiful visual of the red expanse. Mom performed this labour of love until she was well into her eighties! 

To this day, I can clearly picture her knelt down, working away in the sanctuary and it is a fond memory.
