Dear Nestor, Otis, Wes, Keith, Kelly & Families
I am so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing! Edna was a good lady & I always enjoyed my visits with her. Three or four years ago, I had the opportunity to visit her with my sisters Roberta & Carol in her home, such a nice visit. My husband & I live in Calgary & we are currently on vacation in BC, so unfortunately I will not be at her service today but will be there in spirit! Sending Our Deepest Condolences!
