I was very sorry to hear of your mom. I remember Irma very much, and was always there to see her smiling face when she visted my mom, the memories are all we have and they were wonderful. I will always remember her laughter, as I walked in the door and there was Irma always there with a smile on her face. We all lost two great mothers, and a world of loving things we remember of them. And now they will be together again as old friends were years ago. Rest in peace dear mothers.

Yours truly Deanna Hennessy aka Weedmarks on the corner.

Dear Doris and families,

My heartfelt sympathy to your family on the loss of your mother. It's been a long time since I last saw you and your parents, in the early 1970's I believe, when you came to Clinton to visit. I lost contact with you quite a while ago but never ever forgot you. I think about you at least every year on your birthday (yesterday). Glenn, Sandy and I were talking about your family on the Christmas holidays when we got together in 100 Mile. I mentioned about seeing pictures of children in 4-H with the last name of Pfleiderer from Horsefly. Glenn said one of your brothers lived there. When I was in Albion last summer I drove by your parents place on Industrial Avenue and wondered whether they were still there. As well when I went to Kelowna for courses with my work I thought about you several times, even looking up your phone number but not quite getting enough nerve to call. Anyways, I lost my father last July 4th from a stroke and know what heartache you must be feeling right now. Just wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this sad time.

Dear Doris & Family



It seems sadness has followed myself and family these past few months and I'm so sorry to hear that now you have lost your wonderful Mother. When I first met your mom when we were in high school, I thought I'd never learn to understand what she was saying to us. But it didn't take long because she was always interested in what the two of us were "cooking up" so to speak. Your dad was the big hunter...and your mom was always the one to make the great meals from whatever Fritz brought home. I'd run into her from time to time around town..she was always busy..always taking care of others..and always took the time to stop and ask how my family were all doing. She spoke with such pride and happiness about all her grandchildren and I know she loved them dearly. I appreciated so much Doris your call to me this September in the loss of my nephew. I pray that your many memories,pictures, and good times remembered will bring your Dad,Wilfred,Richard and yourself and your families much comfort to your hearts in the days and weeks ahead.
