Thank you Carol, Sharon and Debbie for all the great pictures, and for loving our mom. I am praying for your mom whom we all love also. Our families have been intertwine for so many years. Love to all of you.ππ
Thank you Susan. Very easy to love your Mom as she was such a kind person. Even if it had been years between visits, it was like we had never been apart. Thank you too for the kind words about our Mom, such a difficult time for her.

Thank you Carol for the photos from your very timely visit to Mom in September. It is great that you and Sharon were able to take the time to do that. I still remember us kids going over to visit you all in Germany. All the best to you and your family.
We had such a wonderful visit with your Mom. Sharon, your Mom and I really enjoyed our visit with our Mom in September. A beautiful day to be outside and chat. Sharon and I left with smiles on our faces. Your Mom will truly be missed.
A beautiful eulogy. A kind, gentle and modest lady and always smiling. In later years, she never refused a trip to the ice cream shack. Will miss her.
Thank you Jackie, I was sorry that the winter storm weather prevented you and Stuart (and many others) from attending the service, it would have been great to see you both.
Thankyou Jackie I love the ice cream story. She loved her ice cream.
So sorry to hear about your Mother. Our thoughts are with you in this difficult time. Steve & Barb
Thank you, Steve and Barbππ

Nice, thanks Carol.
I remember when we were little visiting with all of you when you lived in Edmonton. Auntie Doreen always held a special place in my heart. A kind and gentle soul. You are all in my heart and prayers. RIP Auntie Doreen.
