Kurt and I will always be so thankful for the time we had to spend with you. Hundreds of games of crib with Kurt and like a thief in the night, God came and took you home. Now the crib board has been put away. You had a sense of humour like no other Gramma. You always spoke what was on your mind and be damned if people didn't like it. I often shared visits that we had with you to my friends at work and they all felt that they knew you through me. I was surprised by their sense of loss when you died. You were such an independent woman and you always could take care of yourself. You often said that things can be taken away from you but one thing no one could take was your family. We loved you as much as we know you loved us. All our friends called you Gramma because that is who you were to them. I have so many memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life and I thank you for that Gramma. Kurt will think of you everytime he plays a game of crib from now on and he will practice, so when he gets to heaven, he might even beat you!! Kurt felt such a loss Gramma when you died because he loved you so very much. We both will miss you but you will stay in our hearts forever. Give mom a great big hug from us and tell her we miss her very much. We love you with all our hearts. No more pain in your knees Gramma, so if you find Walter and he has a motor home tell him you are ready to rock & roll again. We love you.

Please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss. Lillian was a wonderful woman. We have good memories of her from her visits to Aunt Julie and Uncle Pat's in both Toronto and Regina. May you draw strength from your memories.

Grandma,
I was only about five years old, but the memory I have is still so vivid in my mind nearly fifty years later. Our family was going to visit you in Saskatchewan and I was going to meet you for the first time. I remember lying in bed at night trying to picture in my head what you were going to look like. Naturally I thought you would look like all grandmas...petite, gray hair, granny glasses, sitting in a rocking chair knitting! Was I wrong! I don't remember you ever looking like a Grandma was supposed to. I always thought you were young for your age both in beauty and in spirit.

When I saw you (for what would be the last time) at the hospital, I was holding your hand and looking at you remembering that time so long ago and thought to myself "You never did look like a little old Grandma to me, even at 96 years old". Thank you Grandma for being you, because without you, there would not be me and my children and grandchildren! I am going to really miss your sense of humor, your stories and your wisdom. May you rest in peace, Grandma. I love you.
P.S. Tell Mom we miss her and give her a big hug from all of us!
Love, Carol
